The applicant father sought costs following his success on two temporary motions, which included successfully opposing the respondent mother's request to relocate the child.
The father claimed $15,102.45 based on offers to settle and the mother's unreasonable conduct.
The mother argued costs should be limited to $3,000, citing her receipt of legal aid and claiming the motions should have been short.
The court rejected the mother's arguments, noting that legal aid is not a shield against costs and that she failed to provide her own bill of costs.
Finding the father was the successful party and that the mother acted unreasonably, the court awarded the father costs of $10,000 all-inclusive.
