Following the dismissal of her application for judicial review, the applicant opposed an award of costs, arguing the case involved novel human rights issues of public importance.
The Divisional Court rejected this argument, finding the proceeding was a quest for personal vindication arising from fractious collective bargaining, not a public interest matter.
The court awarded the successful respondents $7,500 in costs, discounting their requested amount of $15,000 to exclude expenses related to the involvement of three intervenors.
