This was an assessment of costs pursuant to a 2016 Federal Court judgment dismissing the applicant's application for judicial review and granting costs to the respondent.
The applicant did not file any responding materials, leaving the respondent's bill of costs substantially unopposed.
The assessment officer reviewed the claims to ensure they were necessary and reasonable, allowing alternative tariff items where appropriate to maintain a positive application of costs provisions.
The respondent's bill of costs was assessed and allowed in the total amount of $2,691.12.
