The applicant sought costs of $1,800 following a successful motion for disclosure.
The respondent argued that each party should bear their own costs or that costs should be fixed at $100, citing limited financial means and an offer to settle.
The court found the applicant was the more successful party and that the respondent's conduct was unreasonable for failing to provide evidence supporting her claim that disclosure would be too onerous.
The court fixed costs at $1,300 payable by the respondent, noting that her failure to pay previous costs awards of $42,000 should not insulate her from further costs.
