How have costs been sought in a personal injury case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from RS Coastal Designs Inc. v Li, 2021 BCSC 1075 (CanLII):
As to costs, counsel for the defendant sought costs on a special costs basis. This is not a matter where it would be appropriate to use the remedy of special costs, which are to “punish and deter reprehensible conduct”: Rana v. Nagra, 2013 BCSC 184, at para. 11. There was no indication of any such conduct.
