The court rendered a costs endorsement following a six-day trial in a family law matter.
The Applicant sought substantial costs, arguing she was largely successful on major issues such as imputed income and support.
The Respondent argued for each party to bear their own costs, claiming neither party's offer to settle was more favourable.
The court found the Applicant to be the more successful party on the major issues, particularly regarding imputed income and retroactive support, and awarded the Applicant $15,000 in costs, considering the complexity of issues, parties' behaviour, and expert fees.
