Can intervenors be awarded costs in a personal injury action?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from A.B. v. Bragg Communications Inc., 2010 NSSC 356 (CanLII):
The applicants argue that intervenors usually are not awarded costs, as they are not successful parties. They are simply intervenors that participated in the application and hearing. The applicants cite Tauber v. Tauber (2004), 10 R.F.L. (6th) 19, where court refused to award costs to the intervenors.
