The court granted the 2nd to 4th defendants an extension on an unless basis to file and serve their affirmations by 4:00pm on 14 March 2025 and ordered debarment if they failed to comply; the court refused to award indemnity costs, finding the plaintiff's insistence disproportionate and that no conduct by the defendants met the high threshold for indemnity costs; the court admonished improper practice of copying correspondence to the Court and relying on letters instead of summonses and affirmations.
