- HCCT11/1991
The court found SFK's late amendment and denial of the clear meaning of UBC daywork certificates was oppressive and an affront to the court, and that these specific items of expense were caused unnecessarily by SFK; therefore those specified items are to be taxed on an indemnity basis while all other costs (pre-trial and trial generally) will be taxed on the usual party-and-party basis; counterclaim costs are not ordered against SFK and post-judgment hearings costs are borne by SFK on the usual basis.
