J U D G M E N T

_________________________

1.Having heard the arguments on both sides and having looked at the evidence I find that there are no triable issues in this case, and I therefore give judgment to the plaintiff in the sum of US$24,499.80, with interest at the US dollar prime rate plus 1 per cent from the date of the writ to judgment, and thereafter at judgment rate. 

(Submission re costs, extension offer and costs on indemnity basis)

2.Here is my order.  There be judgment for the plaintiff in the sum of US$24,499.80, interest thereon from the date of the writ to 19 November 2009 at US dollar prime rate plus 1 per cent, and from 20 November 2009 until judgment at judgment rate plus 2 per cent, and thereafter at the judgment rate. 

3.The costs of this action, including the costs of this application and the costs reserved on 5 November 2009 be to the plaintiff, to be taxed if not agreed, on a party and party basis for costs incurred up to 19 November, and on an indemnity basis for costs incurred thereafter, carrying interest at the judgment rate plus 2 per cent.

(Discussion re costs)

4.Just to make it clear, the costs reserved that I was referring to earlier was a consent order made on 5 November, but the costs for that particular consent order were reserved.
