This is a costs endorsement following a motion heard on access to children in a family law matter.
The applicant father sought full recovery costs of $7,500 inclusive of HST and disbursements.
The respondent mother opposed the costs claim, arguing the amounts were excessive and that she and the children would suffer hardship.
The court awarded the full costs claimed to the successful applicant father, finding that the mother had taken unreasonable positions throughout the proceedings and had been the author of her own misfortune by failing to resolve matters in the best interests of the children.
