On March 1, 2010, I delivered reasons for judgment in three actions brought by Evan MacIntyre for personal injuries: MacIntyre v. Pitt Meadows Secondary School, 2010 BCSC 256. The three actions were heard at the same time. I dismissed the plaintiff's claim in the action which arose out of an injury suffered at Pitt Meadows Secondary School on September 19, 2002 when a lawn mower engine fell on his wrist during shop class (the First Action). I awarded $38,282.85 in damages for the injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident that occurred on October 31, 2003 (the Second Action). I awarded $36,977.03 in damages for the injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident that occurred on October 31, 2007 (the Third Action). I ordered that costs should follow the event at Scale B subject to any submissions of the parties. Having heard the submissions of the parties, this is my ruling on the numerous costs issues raised by them.Relevant Background...

The plaintiff Joel Raun was injured in a violent rear-end motor vehicle collision July 12, 2005. The defendants have admitted liability for the collision. The issue to be decided is the appropriate amount of compensation to which Mr. Raun is entitled as a result of injuries caused by the collision. The plaintiff seeks $75,000 to $80,000 for general damages, $68,000 to $98,000 for past loss of income, $75,000 to $100,000 for reduced earning capacity and $1,533.59 in special damages. The defendants submission is that a proper award would be $18,000 for non-pecuniary damages, nothing for past loss of income or reduced earning capacity and $693.59 for general damages. The wide discrepancy in suggested damages arise from conflicting assessments of the nature, extent and duration of Mr. Rauns physical injuries and the cause of his lack of earnings since the collision....
