April 11, 2024 – Costs & Full Recovery

“The mother seeks full recovery as her primary request.  There is no presumption in the Rules that provides for a general approach of “close to full recovery” costs. Rules 18 and 24 expressly contemplate full recovery only in specific circumstances:

a.    Matching/exceeding an offer to settle (Rule 18(14)).

b.    Bad faith (Rule 24(8)). Beaver v. Hill.”
