Following a successful focused trial that invalidated a marriage contract, the applicant sought her costs on a full indemnity basis.
The court reviewed the respondent's behaviour, which included inducing the applicant to sign an unconscionable contract and the estate trustees' subsequent draconian actions.
Finding that the applicant beat her offer to settle and that the respondent's behaviour warranted sanction, the court awarded the applicant her costs on a full indemnity basis, fixed at $129,293.40.
