The appellants achieved modest success on their appeal, successfully striking down a ban on signs under s. 2(b) of the Charter and certain prohibitions in a municipal by-law.
However, the respondent municipality was substantially successful overall.
The Court of Appeal awarded the respondent reduced costs of the appeal fixed at $25,000.
The court declined to interfere with the lower court's costs award of $350,000 for the injunction motion and by-law application, finding it fair and reasonable.
