The moving parties sought costs of $11,097.22 on a partial indemnity basis after successfully obtaining an adjournment.
The respondent opposed the costs, arguing they should be assessed later or denied due to alleged delays.
The court found the motion was entirely avoidable and necessitated by the respondent's unreasonable refusal to consent to the adjournment.
Applying the principles of proportionality and reasonableness, the court fixed costs at $6,000 inclusive of disbursements and HST.
