Costs of $7,500 awarded against applicant who behaved unreasonably by filing excessive materials.
Following the respondent's substantial success on interim family law motions, she sought costs of $10,000.
The applicant, who was self-represented during the motions, argued that parties should bear their own costs or that any award should be reduced due to his impecuniosity.
The court found the applicant behaved unreasonably by filing excessive materials, which increased costs.
While acknowledging the applicant's financial situation, the court held it did not provide immunity from costs but justified a payment plan.
Costs were fixed at $7,500 payable in installments.
