Following the dismissal of the appellant's appeal from a Master's order refusing to add a new party plaintiff, the court determined the quantum of costs.
The successful respondents claimed costs of approximately $19,855 and $15,427 respectively.
The court found these amounts excessive given the brief nature of the appeal and the fact that much of the preparation duplicated work done before the Master.
Costs were fixed at $10,000 inclusive for each of the two groups of respondents.
