The mother brought a motion seeking a declaration that the father was acting contrary to a divorce order regarding their child's hockey team.
The motion was dismissed because the child's skill level and the hockey association's rules made strict compliance with the order contrary to the child's best interests.
The father subsequently sought costs on a partial recovery basis.
The court considered the factors under Rule 24 of the Family Law Rules, including the mother's unreasonable settlement offer and the father's success.
The court awarded the father costs fixed at $5,015.93 inclusive of disbursements and HST.
