- Court
- High Court
The presumption under r15.23 (applied by analogy) that a plaintiff who discontinues must pay costs to the defendant was not displaced because the merits were not so plainly in Koha's favour; only one case management conference attendance was recoverable and interlocutory affidavit preparation was not separately recoverable, resulting in an award of costs and disbursements to the applicant of $2,117 payable by Koha Trust Holdings Ltd.
