Background:
Mary Ann George filed a claim against Patrick Vossen and Rodger Ivan Vossen over a recreational property in British Columbia. The property was purchased by the Vossen family in 1981, and George argued that her ownership interest was greater than acknowledged by the defendants. She opposed the sale of the property, while the defendants sought a sale.

Legal Issues:
The main issue was the determination of ownership interests in the property. George sought to secure a larger share and block the sale, while the defendants requested a judicial order for the sale and distribution of proceeds. A secondary issue was the defendants' formal offers to settle, which George did not respond to.

Judgment:
The court determined that George held an 11.844% interest in the property, much lower than her claim of 18.18%. The court ordered the property to be sold, and the proceeds distributed according to the determined ownership shares.

Costs Award:
The defendants made two offers to settle, both rejected by George. The court found that the second offer, which proposed a favorable settlement for George, should have been accepted. As a result, the court awarded the defendants double costs from June 6, 2023, onward, per Rule 9-1. Costs were ordered at Scale B up to that date. The total amount was not explicitly stated, but the costs were to be deducted from George's share of the property sale.
