What are the indemnity costs of a plaintiff in a personal injury action?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ahmadi v. Metrolinx, 2013 ONSC 6311 (CanLII):
The defendant seeks an award of substantial indemnity costs throughout, on the basis of the plaintiff’s conduct of litigation. Such a punitive award of costs is rare and exceptional. Such costs are generally awarded only where there has been "reprehensible, scandalous or outrageous conduct on the part of one of the parties". Young v. Young, 1993 CanLII 34 (SCC), [1993] 4 S.C.R. 3 at para. 251.
