The respondent mother sought costs of $17,122.13 on a full indemnity basis following her successful motion for retroactive and ongoing child support and section 7 expenses.
The applicant father argued costs should be limited to $1,000.
The court found no bad faith by either party and determined the mother's offer to settle did not strictly meet the requirements of Rule 18(14).
The court awarded the mother costs fixed at $10,000.
