Following an undefended trial, the successful plaintiff sought costs and two clarifications to the judgment.
The court corrected the prejudgment interest rate from four per cent to two per cent and directed that the judgment reflect that one defendant was known by two names.
On costs, the court held that the full claim was justified despite exceeding the damages recovered, given the reasonableness of the disbursements, the need to retain a handwriting expert, the defendants' failure to acknowledge the facts, the plaintiff's 2006 offer to settle, and delay attributable to the defendant.
Full claimed costs were awarded, payable within seven days.
