The Applicant sought costs following a long motion for temporary child and spousal support, interim exclusive possession, and interim disbursements.
The Applicant was largely successful on the key issues of income determination and exclusive possession, while the Respondent's cross-motion was dismissed.
The court found the Respondent's offer to settle unreasonable as it failed to address his income, a key issue.
The court awarded the Applicant partial indemnity costs of $60,000, representing approximately two-thirds of her partial indemnity costs, with the remaining one-third related to parenting issues deferred to the trial judge.
