The court held the plaintiff remained the successful party because the defendant made no settlement offers or payments before trial; however, because the plaintiff's damages claims were found to be significantly exaggerated, the plaintiff's recoverable costs were reduced by half. The Legal Aid Department's summons attracted no costs order; the defendant succeeded on its summons and was entitled to costs, but the costs of that application were to be paid by the Legal Aid Department.
