COSTS ENDORSEMENT

[1]

This court released its judgment in this matter on April 4, 2016:
Deslaurier
    Custom Cabinets Inc. v. 1728106 Ontario Inc.
, 2016 ONCA 246.  The court
    granted the appellant, 1728106 Ontario Inc., its costs of the appeal in the
    total amount of $25,000, inclusive of disbursements and applicable taxes, and
    requested the parties further submissions regarding the appellants costs of
    the underlying action, excluding any costs associated with its cross-claim
    against John Faught Steel Inc.

[2]

The court has now received and reviewed those further submissions,
    together with additional costs submissions delivered by Tierney Stauffer LLP on
    behalf of the appellant and its shareholders relating to matters described in
    that firms submissions.

[3]

Based on the matters at issue on this appeal and in the underlying
    action, the parties positions and the participation of involved counsel, we
    conclude that the appellant is entitled to its costs of the underlying action,
    including its costs of the summary judgment motions but excluding costs
    associated with its cross-claim against John Faught Steel Inc., on a partial
    indemnity basis, in the total amount of $65,231.79.  We make no order in
    respect of the costs sought by Tierney Stauffer LLP.  Those costs, in our view,
    are not properly recoverable in the proceeding before this court emanating from
    the main action.

[4]

Accordingly, the costs order of Métivier J. dated October 1, 2014 is set
    aside and an order is substituted in its place granting the appellant costs of
    $65,231.79 in accordance with these reasons.
