Following the dismissal of the applicant's motion for parenting time during a period when his step-children were required to quarantine for Covid-19 after arriving from the United States, the court determined the issue of costs.
The respondent sought full indemnity costs, while the applicant sought partial indemnity or no costs.
The court found no bad faith by either party but held the respondent's position was reasonable to protect the children's health.
Applying the principles from Mattina, the court awarded the successful respondent partial indemnity costs fixed at $2,500.
