This is a costs endorsement following the dismissal of the Applicant's request for leave to commence an action against the Respondents.
The court assessed the costs payable by the Applicant to the successful Respondents on a partial indemnity basis.
The court considered the reasonableness of two separate sets of costs, duplication of legal work by multiple lawyers of similar call years, and the hourly rates and disbursements claimed.
The court reduced the costs sought by Centennial College and the individual Respondents due to concerns about duplication and excessive disbursements, while approving the costs sought by the Toronto Police Services Board.
The Applicant, a vexatious litigant, was ordered to pay costs, and his approval of the costs order's form and content was waived.
