Following a summary judgment motion where the defendant successfully had the plaintiff's main action dismissed but was denied summary judgment on his counterclaim, the court determined costs.
The defendant, who was partially self-represented, sought costs of $26,325.
The plaintiff failed to provide a costs outline.
The court awarded the defendant all-inclusive costs of $10,000, taking into account the simplified procedure rules and the defendant's status as a self-represented litigant for part of the proceedings.
