The applicant sought costs for a successful motion regarding school placement for a child in a shared parenting arrangement.
The applicant was awarded costs of $3,000.00 inclusive of disbursements and taxes.
The court determined that the applicant was the successful party on the only issue before it—the choice of school—and that costs should be awarded at a level approaching substantial recovery rather than full recovery, as the applicant's offer to settle included terms the court declined to rule on and was therefore not as favourable as the court's ruling.
