- High Court
Plaintiff entitled to costs in the usual course but amount reduced because plaintiff could not claim duplicated item for updating submissions filed without leave ($3,585 disallowed); defendants were required to particularise search methodologies and keywords in affidavits where searches were conducted; category 4 discovery required clarification and documents held by former committee members and former employees are discoverable; affidavits of the plaintiff's solicitor did not warrant a costs reduction and there was no basis to reduce costs for proceeding to hearing.
