The applicants brought an application regarding the administration of an estate.
They sought an order that the estate not pay tax on an RRSP, which was dismissed as the Income Tax Act makes the estate liable.
The respondent sought costs of the application, arguing it was unnecessary.
The court denied the respondent's costs claim, finding that his own errors, misstatements, and conflicts of interest in administering the estate caused the applicants' mistrust and necessitated the application.
