The applicant sought costs of over $1 million and pre-judgment interest following a complex 19-day family law trial where she was largely successful.
The court rejected the applicant's claim for full recovery costs based on bad faith, finding the respondent's conduct unreasonable but not reaching the threshold of bad faith.
The court awarded the applicant $936,625 in costs and $195,000 in pre-judgment interest, noting the respondent's unreasonable litigation conduct increased the complexity and length of the proceedings.
