The defendant successfully brought a summary judgment motion dismissing the plaintiff's action for solicitor negligence on the basis of lack of standing, res judicata, and abuse of process.
The defendant sought costs of the motion and the action on a partial indemnity basis.
The court found the hours expended and rates charged by the defendant's counsel to be reasonable and modest.
Costs were awarded to the defendant in the fixed sum of $7,960 inclusive of disbursements and HST.
