This is a costs ruling following a summary judgment motion in a family law dispute concerning property valuations and equalization.
The applicant sought $16,203 in costs, while the self-represented respondent sought $12,807.
The court found that both parties contributed to the procedural impasse and the need for the motion, with the respondent's delayed and inadequate disclosure and the applicant's over-reaching valuation claims.
Emphasizing the importance of timely disclosure and rational litigation conduct, the court ordered the parties to share the costs of the motion equally.
The applicant was awarded fixed costs of $8,060 against the respondent.
