CFL failed to establish any pleaded cause of action; therefore Scenic is the successful party and costs follow the event. The Court exercised discretion to reduce costs by 5% of trial preparation and trial items to reflect limited prejudice from late disclosure; second counsel certificate granted; disbursements of $913.04 allowed; total costs fixed at $116,089.26 payable by plaintiff to first defendant; no order as to costs between plaintiff and second defendant.
