The plaintiff made an improper and unnecessary claim for pre-trial loss of earnings despite receiving full salary; applying Elgindata principles and the objectives of the Civil Justice Reform, the court deprived the plaintiff of costs in relation to that claim and ordered him to pay the defendant's costs attributable to defending that claim while otherwise awarding costs of the action to the plaintiff from the defendant.
