What is the impact of the Court of Appeal's decision on costs in a personal injury case?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Decoste Manufacturing Ltd v. A&B Roofing Ltd, 2004 NSSC 99 (CanLII):
With regards to Justice Moir’s decision on costs in Fraser et al v. Westminer et al (supra), I concluded that he was not so much concerned with the fact that the defendants relitigated the issue of their conduct (which, at paragraph 6, he says he did not preclude them from doing) but he was concerned that they relitigated the issue and lost again. In other words, it turned out to be a waste of time.
