A personal injury trial does not necessarily conclude with a judge or jury ruling. There are always costs to consider at the conclusion of a trial, such as the awarding of legal costs (generally to the winning party) as well as possible deductions. At the conclusion of the Markovic v. Richards trial, there were two post-trial issues to be decided, both regarding costs. The first question was whether or not the plaintiff’s premiums for after-the-event (ATE) insurance is a compensable disbursement. The second issue was whether or not the new prejudgment rate set out in the Insurance Act on January 1st, 2015 was retroactive and could be applied to the current case.
