Following motions for an interim parenting order and a Form 14B motion for fresh evidence, the successful respondent mother sought costs on a substantial indemnity basis.
The applicant father argued no costs should be awarded or they should be reserved to the trial judge.
The court rejected the father's arguments, finding his settlement offers unreasonable and his Form 14B motion materials misleading.
The court awarded the respondent mother costs fixed at $23,000 inclusive of taxes and disbursements.
