Following a motion where the respondent was largely successful, the court determined the quantum of costs.
The respondent sought full indemnity costs of over $19,000.
The court reduced the amount due to excessive preparation time, high hourly rates, and the improper inclusion of clerical tasks and unrelated matters.
The court awarded the respondent $9,000 plus disbursements.
The court also declined the respondent's invitation to order costs personally against the applicant's counsel, finding no basis for such an order.
