· Application: Tower Engineering Group Limited Partnership, Tower Engineering Group Inc, Tower Engineering Group (Calgary) Limited Partnership, Tower Engineering Group (Calgary) Inc, Mike Nowlan, Nowlan Bluenose Design Ltd, Hillier Manufacturing Ltd, Bradon Construction Ltd, and ABC Corporation Ltd. (collectively, the "Tower Defendants") applied to compel responses from Plaintiffs Brad Prather, Valerie Prather, and Bradon Equestrian Ltd. to questions from prior questioning sessions. The court dismissed this application.
· Costs Dispute: The Plaintiffs argued for a cost multiplier of 1.5 or 2 on Column 5 of Schedule C, citing the time-intensive and unnecessary nature of the Defendants' application. The Tower Defendants opposed this, asserting the application was straightforward and did not warrant increased costs. Justice N.F. Dilts ruled that no multiplier was warranted, and costs were to be calculated under Column 5 of Schedule C.
· Outcome: The court awarded costs to the Plaintiffs, who were the successful party. Although the exact amount was not specified, the costs are to be determined based on Column 5 of Schedule C and are payable immediately by the Tower Defendants under Rule 10.29(1).
