The applicant sought costs following a motion for retroactive and ongoing spousal support, where the respondent brought a cross-motion for child support and extraordinary expenses.
Success was divided, and neither party's offer to settle was clearly superior.
However, the court found the applicant was sufficiently successful to warrant partial indemnity costs, having obtained a sizeable award for spousal support.
The respondent was ordered to pay costs of $5,500 plus HST.
