The parties brought competing applications regarding the proceeds of two life insurance policies owned by their late mother, and both sought an accounting for the time the other acted as attorney for property.
Following a decision where success was divided on the insurance policies and both parties' misappropriation claims were dismissed for lack of standing, both parties sought costs.
The court found that both parties contributed to the complexity and cost of the litigation by raising issues without legal basis.
Consequently, the court ordered that both parties bear their own costs.
