CaseChat Overview and Summary

The parties to the case were Koidu von Reisner and Chepurin. The dispute involved an application by the plaintiff to correct certain matters in a published judgment, as per the rules under r 36.17 of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules. The application was heard by the court. The legal issues that the court was required to decide involved whether the application should be referred back to the trial judge for consideration or if it was more appropriate for the matter to be dealt with on appeal. The plaintiff sought to amend the published judgment to correct certain errors that had occurred during the trial, but some of these amendments were deemed controversial. Additionally, the plaintiff had filed a notice of intention to appeal, which raised the question of whether some of the matters raised in the application were more appropriately dealt with on appeal.

The court found that the application should not be referred back to the trial judge, as the matters raised in the application were more appropriately dealt with on appeal. The court also noted that some of the amendments sought by the plaintiff were controversial and would require further consideration, which was more suitable for an appellate court. The court dismissed the motion for costs, as the plaintiff had argued that she was entitled to ensure that her personal details were correctly published on the internet. The court found that the matter of costs should not follow the event and that the plaintiff's entitlement to correct her personal details was not sufficient grounds for an award of costs.
