Following dismissal of a plaintiff’s appeal from a master's order, the court determined the issue of costs.
The appellant failed to provide written costs submissions despite being granted additional time to do so.
The respondents sought substantial indemnity costs, while also claiming partial indemnity costs.
The court concluded that the appeal had been pursued in an unnecessarily aggressive and overly technical manner, requiring additional work by the respondents.
Costs were awarded against the appellant on a reduced partial indemnity basis.
