Key Issues:

1. Costs Order: Mr. Elinson objected to being personally liable for costs.
2. Plaintiffs' Appeal: Notice of Motion for Leave to Appeal costs dismissed; appeal of trial judgment dismissed on November 17, 2022.
3. Draft Order Dispute: Disagreement over a draft order that reflected a compromise instead of the judge's disposition on costs.

Judge’s Findings:

• Functus Officio: The judge could not entertain new arguments from Mr. Elinson as the matter of costs had been previously decided.
• Draft Order Rejection: The judge refused to sign the defendants' draft order as it did not reflect her original disposition on costs.
• Disposition on Costs:
  • Plaintiffs to pay defendants $582,496.80 in fees and $135,416.40 in disbursements.
  • Defendants to pay plaintiffs $19,500 for the counterclaim.

Final Directions:

• If the defendants seek enforcement of the agreed compromise, they must file a motion.
• If seeking to reflect the judge’s original costs disposition, the defendants must:
  • Send a draft order to the plaintiffs.
  • Allow plaintiffs seven days to respond.
  • Submit the draft to the registrar if no response is received.
