British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Scory v. Krannitz, 2011 BCSC 1344 (CanLII):

This is an application for special costs and double special costs arising from the dismissal of the claimant’s action against the respondents. I dismissed the claimant’s action for damages against the respondents on May 25, 2011 with costs in favour of the respondents (Scory v. Krannitz, 2011 BCSC 674). I adjourned the issue of costs to permit the parties to make submissions on the matter.
