Following the dismissal of the plaintiff’s action, the court addressed costs submissions from the defendants.
The Township of Puslinch sought costs previously fixed at $23,400, which the plaintiff challenged as excessive and duplicative.
The court accepted that a portion of the Township’s costs duplicated a prior motion award and reduced the amount accordingly.
The court rejected the plaintiff’s argument that the award should be limited due to the plaintiff’s financial circumstances.
The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation also sought costs for the action and motion, which the court found reasonable in light of the extensive materials and history of the proceeding.
