Applicant awarded full indemnity costs of $34,394 due to respondent's unreasonable behaviour.
The Applicant sought full indemnity costs following successful motions related to the enforcement of a Consent and Minutes of Settlement for the sale of the matrimonial home.
The Respondent opposed, arguing her actions were not in bad faith and she lacked the financial means to pay.
The court found the Respondent's behaviour unreasonable, particularly her attempts to renegotiate or set aside the settlement and her persistence in positions already dismissed.
While not constituting bad faith, her conduct warranted a costs award.
The Applicant was awarded costs on a full indemnity basis, reduced by 10 hours due to issues with his counsel's drafting of the consent order.
The total award of $34,394 was ordered to be paid from the Respondent's share of the proceeds of sale of the matrimonial home.
Plaintiff's misrepresentation claim dismissed; defendants awarded $100,000 on counterclaims for unpaid share interests.
The plaintiff brought an action for damages alleging the defendants made false representations regarding the financial status of two courier companies he invested in and later purchased.
The defendants counterclaimed for unpaid amounts under a share purchase agreement and for the value of retained shares.
The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim, finding he was an experienced businessman who had the opportunity to conduct due diligence and failed to prove any misrepresentations.
The court granted the defendants' counterclaims in part, ordering the plaintiff to pay $50,000 to Saini for the outstanding balance of the share purchase agreement, and $50,000 to Stanford for his unabandoned share interest in the companies.
