The Court awarded costs to the applicant fixed at $14,962.29, ordering indemnity costs against both the first respondents and the second respondent because their conduct constituted an obstructive, vexatious and unnecessary scheme to prevent enforcement of the mortgage; only costs reasonably attributable to the proceeding are recoverable and post-judgment or unrelated invoices are not recoverable.
