The court fixed costs following the dismissal of the plaintiff's motion to amend the statement of claim.
The defendants sought substantial indemnity costs, while the plaintiff argued for partial indemnity and proportionality.
The court awarded partial indemnity costs, finding the plaintiff's conduct unnecessarily complicated the proceedings and that the principle of proportionality should not override the court's concerns about the plaintiff's conduct.
Costs were also awarded to a non-party.
