The applicant sought full indemnity costs of approximately $75,000 following three motions in a family law proceeding.
The motions primarily dealt with the respondent's failure to provide financial disclosure regarding his corporate interests and the sale of properties.
The court found that the applicant was the successful party and that the respondent had acted unreasonably by repeatedly failing to comply with disclosure orders.
However, the court determined that the applicant's claimed costs were disproportionate to the work required.
The court awarded the applicant costs fixed at $43,200, inclusive of disbursements and HST.
