Following a trial where the plaintiff was awarded $80,229.56 for unpaid construction invoices, the court determined costs.
The plaintiff sought $51,490.63 based on an offer to settle for $100,000 plus $15,000 in costs.
The court conducted a 'mini-assessment' of costs to determine if the judgment was more favourable than the offer.
Finding that the judgment plus partial indemnity costs would exceed the $115,000 offer, the court awarded the plaintiff partial indemnity costs to the date of the offer and substantial indemnity costs thereafter, totalling $51,490.63.
