The court held that indemnity costs should reimburse the defendant only for wasted preparation (not for preparation that will be used at the later hearing) and for actual and reasonable costs; applying those principles the court reduced the defendant's claim and awarded indemnity costs of $3,440 for the adjourned hearing and $975 for the directions conference (total $4,415), payable within 10 working days, with a stay of proceedings if unpaid.
