Justice Grammond - 2023-08-29
Read full decision. Generated by ChatGPT:
The case involved a reconsideration of a previous judgment where the plaintiffs sought an increase in damages awarded for copyright infringement. The plaintiffs argued that the initial award did not account for television programs illegally broadcast between February 1, 2023, and the date of judgment. They relied on a procedural rule allowing for reconsideration when a matter has been overlooked. The court rejected the motion, highlighting that it is the parties' responsibility to present evidence and define the relief sought. The court emphasized that a simple mention of potential evidence amplification does not shift the burden from the parties to the court. As such, the motion was dismissed, and no costs were awarded due to a previously dismissed motion by the defendants.
