The appellant, Michelle Anne David, was successful in her appeal of a motion to vary child and spousal support.
She sought costs of $15,000 for the appeal and $16,000 for the motion to vary.
The respondent, Franco Ruffolo, argued that each party should bear their own costs or that costs should be limited to $5,000.
The Divisional Court awarded the appellant $15,000 for the appeal, finding the amount reasonable and within the norm.
For the motion to vary, the court awarded $12,000, taking into account an offer to settle made by the appellant.
Total costs were fixed at $27,000 payable forthwith.
