high court question

corriefan

I have done a high court search on a case that I am interested in. Under the order details there is a description of 'motion strike out, costs'. Could anyone give me a straightforward meaning to this? I presume it is a strike out against the plaintiff, with a costs order made against them? There seems to be many interpretations of a strike out in legal terms but I wondering if it is stated as such does it mean that the motion was simply struck out?

Thanks in advance for any information, lets just say I have no time for the plaintiff and their litigation tendencies, and would think that is very fair that the court went against this particular personal injury claim.

That information only relates to a motion in the case, that could be discovery or replies to particulars or judgement in default. The motion was struck out only and usually cost are reserved to the action. That would usually mean (but not always) that the costs of the motion will be granted to the winner of the case.

Thanks pro hoc vice for the reply. I assumed that because there was an extension to appearance/defence order afterwards that the whole case might have been struck out at that time. Thanks again!
