The defendants successfully moved to dismiss the plaintiff's ten-year medical negligence action and sought their costs.
The plaintiff, who was self-represented for portions of the litigation, caused significant delays and failed to accept multiple offers to settle.
The defendants sought costs in amounts lower than partial indemnity, recognizing the plaintiff's difficult financial circumstances.
The court further reduced the requested amounts, ordering the plaintiff to pay a total of $270,000 in costs to the defendants.
