Does a case generating a "very good but not extraordinary result" for a claimant receive a cost premium for a very good result for the claimant?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Stilwell v. World Kitchen Inc., et al., 2013 ONSC 5360 (CanLII):

62. Similarly, a case generating a “very good but not extraordinary result” for a claimant, in part because of a finding of significant contributory negligence, will not warrant a cost premium. See Murray v. Ontario, [2002] O.J. No. 4268 (S.C.J.).
