Following a five-day trial on a motion to change where the applicant successfully terminated spousal support, the court determined the quantum of costs.
The respondent, who was self-represented, advanced untenable claims for retroactive and indefinite support before abandoning them on the final day of trial.
The court found the respondent's litigation conduct unreasonable and awarded the applicant partial indemnity costs of $32,257.39, representing 70 percent of full recovery.
