Costs of $15,000 awarded against respondents for unreasonable conduct in re-litigating settled planning issues.
ClubLink brought a motion for costs against the City of Ottawa and the Kanata Greenspace Protection Coalition (KGPC) following a hearing to finalize an interim order approving a zoning by-law amendment and draft plan of subdivision.
ClubLink argued the respondents engaged in unreasonable and bad faith conduct by attempting to re-litigate settled issues and advancing prematurity arguments.
The Tribunal found that the City and KGPC's conduct in opposing the final order based on matters already determined was unreasonable and amounted to bad faith.
The Tribunal awarded partial indemnity costs of $15,000 jointly and severally against the City and KGPC.
