Is the court’s position on costs for personal injury cases in the context of the case management system?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Yendrowich v. Yendrowich, 2004 MBQB 119 (CanLII):
Even prior to the advent of the case management system, Master Ring indicated that the court’s position on costs should encourage settlement or at least a speedy process and a narrowing of the issues. (Leb v. Leb [1994] M.J. No. 412). If that was so then, it remains so now – encouraging settlement or narrowing issues is the raison d’etre of the case management system.
