The court found the plaintiffs had pursued and conducted the litigation in an oppressive and disproportionate manner (escalating the loss of a pet dog into protracted, costly litigation), and that the discretion to award indemnity costs should be exercised where appropriate; accordingly the defendants' costs in this action are to be taxed on an indemnity basis, while the costs of this specific application are to be paid by the plaintiffs on a party and party basis (order nisi).
