- High Court
Insufficient admissible evidence established that $10,744.22 of the claimed remediation payments related to remediation, therefore only $9,152.61 was credited to the plaintiffs; the expert appointed by consent benefited both parties and his costs are to be shared equally; penalty interest is to be split 50/50 by agreement; expert invoices to be paid from trust funds before distribution; overall costs of the proceeding and applications are to lie where they fall.
