The Applicant, Devaki MacDonald, sought substantial indemnity costs following her success on a mobility motion heard on June 9, 2016.
The Respondent, Andrew Durrant, did not provide responding costs materials.
The court considered the discretionary factors under Rule 24 of the Family Law Rules, the reasonableness of the Applicant's counsel's rates and time spent, and the principle of indemnity.
The court fixed substantial indemnity costs at $19,000.00, inclusive of fees, disbursements, and HST, and ordered them to be paid forthwith by the Respondent, enforceable by FRO as child support.
