Following a trial where the Plaintiff was awarded damages against Maryvale for sexual assault but his action against the Archdiocese of London and Father Horvath was dismissed, this endorsement addresses costs.
The Plaintiff sought substantial indemnity costs against Maryvale and a Sanderson or Bullock order to make Maryvale responsible for the costs of the successful co-defendants.
The Archdiocese and Father Horvath, having successfully defended, sought costs from the Plaintiff.
The court awarded the Archdiocese and Father Horvath $125,500 in costs payable by the Plaintiff, finding no basis for a Sanderson or Bullock order due to the independent nature of the claims and lack of blame-shifting.
The court awarded the Plaintiff $175,000 in substantial indemnity costs against Maryvale, accounting for the time spent on the unsuccessful claims against the other defendants.
