In a standalone costs decision following a refusals motion and an abuse of process motion, the court assessed entitlement and quantum under Rule 57.01.
The moving parties were found to have been largely successful on the refusals motion and wholly successful on the abuse of process motion that resulted in dismissal of a duplicative application.
The responding parties disputed costs submissions but did not challenge rates or time through a responding bill of costs or costs outline.
Applying proportionality and the Rule 57.01 factors, the court fixed partial indemnity costs at $15,000 inclusive of disbursements and HST, payable within 60 days.
