The self-represented appellant appealed four Certificates of Assessment of Costs issued by an assessment officer following the dismissal of his earlier appeal.
The appellant raised numerous objections, including allegations that the respondents' claims for costs were fraudulent, that one corporate respondent did not exist, and that the assessment officer demonstrated bias.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that the assessment officer's duty was to assess costs in accordance with the court's order, not to look behind it or review the underlying basis of the claims.
The court found no foundation for the appellant's allegations of fraud or bias.
