Following a joint family and civil trial where the applicant was largely successful, the court determined the issue of costs.
The respondent, who was self-represented at trial, failed to submit costs materials.
The court considered the applicant's offers to settle, which she beat at trial, and the respondent's unreasonable behaviour that lengthened the proceedings.
The court awarded the applicant costs of $60,250 for fees and $11,705.15 for disbursements, plus HST.
