In the case of Fryer v Village of Nakusp dated March 18, 2023, the plaintiff, Mr. Fryer, was injured when he was struck by the car of Marilyn Anne Massey, the defendant. He had applied for double costs, while the defendant had sought deductions from his damage award. His damages were reduced by 10% due to contributory negligence, resulting in an award of $751,079.60. There had been a typographical error in the original decision, which was corrected. Two settlement offers had been made by the plaintiff, but the trial had been adjourned. The court had considered the legal framework and had declined to award double costs. Mr. Fryer's costs had been reduced by 10% for contributory negligence, and each party had been responsible for their own costs of the application.
