On March 1, 2010, I delivered reasons for judgment in three actions
brought by Evan MacIntyre for personal injuries: MacIntyre v. Pitt Meadows
Secondary School, 2010 BCSC 256. The three actions were heard at the same
time. I dismissed the plaintiff's claim in the action which arose out of an
injury suffered at Pitt Meadows Secondary School on September 19, 2002 when a
lawn mower engine fell on his wrist during shop class (the First Action). I
awarded $38,282.85 in damages for the injuries suffered in a motor vehicle
accident that occurred on October 31, 2003 (the Second Action). I awarded
$36,977.03 in damages for the injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident
that occurred on October 31, 2007 (the Third Action). I ordered that costs
should follow the event at Scale B subject to any submissions of the parties.
Having heard the submissions of the parties, this is my ruling on the numerous
costs issues raised by them.Relevant Background...
