Nordik Windows Inc. v Aviva Insurance Co.
AVIVA INSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA
AVIVA GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY
In the case of Nordik Windows Inc. v. Aviva Insurance Co., a decision was reached on March 20, 2022, regarding a set of motions involving the plaintiff Nordik Windows Inc. and defendants Aviva Insurance Company of Canada, Aviva General Insurance Company, and Aviva Canada Inc. The plaintiff had sought to add new co-plaintiffs, while the defendants had filed a summary judgment motion and a motion concerning the tolling of the limitation period. The Plaintiff had been successful in all these motions, and according to the customary principle of "costs follow the event," they had been entitled to costs. The pivotal issue had been determining the precise event to which these costs applied. The case had revolved around a certification motion, which had been the central focus. The certification motion had been considered the primary issue, with the other motions being ancillary. The Plaintiff's request for costs had pertained to the certification motion, as it had been the core aspect of the legal battle. The court had then performed a detailed analysis of the claimed costs and had ultimately determined that the Defendants should pay the Plaintiff costs totaling $1,000,000.00 for the combined motions.
