Following a successful confidentiality motion by the defendant, the parties submitted written costs submissions.
Both parties improperly filed additional unauthorized materials, for which the court denied leave.
The defendant sought $54,000 in costs, while the plaintiff argued for $3,000 based on a prior Federal Court decision.
The court rejected both extremes, finding the defendant's materials excessive but acknowledging the complexity and importance of the motion.
The court awarded the defendant partial indemnity costs fixed at $28,570.
