The applicant sought costs of a motion heard on December 2, 2011 and reviewed on March 6, 2012 regarding spousal support and other family law matters.
The respondent argued that the costs submissions were untimely and that there was mixed success on the motion.
The court found that the applicant was the successful party on the primary issue of spousal support and was entitled to costs.
The court fixed costs at $3,000.00 inclusive of disbursements and applicable taxes on a partial indemnity basis, considering the factors set out in Rule 24(11) of the Family Law Rules.
