This decision addresses costs following a motion concerning the scheduling of parenting time for a child.
The respondent mother was successful on the underlying motion and presumptively entitled to costs, having served an offer that exceeded the result obtained.
However, the applicant father also filed a genuine settlement offer.
The court noted that neither party acted unreasonably or in bad faith, and both sought to maximize time with their son.
Given the parties' respectful conduct, their successful negotiation of other issues, and the close nature of the decision on the remaining issue, the court exercised its discretion to award no costs.
