DBDC Spadina Ltd. et al. v. Norma Walton et al., 2015 ONSC 2550

The court-appointed Manager moved for approval of its fees, its counsel's fees, and a proposed Fee Allocation Methodology to distribute the costs among various properties in a complex real estate receivership.

Several mortgagees and lien claimants opposed the fee approval and the allocation methodology, arguing that time was not docketed on a property-by-property basis and that the methodology was unfair.

The court approved the fees and the methodology, finding that strict property-by-property accounting would be cost-prohibitive and that the proposed allocation was fair and equitable.

The court also rejected arguments that the Manager's charge should be subordinated to prior liens or subject to the doctrine of marshalling.

Respondent Counsel

Teplitsky Colson LLP et al. v. Malamas et al., 2012 ONSC 5131

Following an earlier ruling declaring the respondent a vexatious litigant, multiple applicants sought costs of the proceeding.

The court found that the respondent’s conduct throughout the litigation, including unsupported allegations of misconduct, disregard of procedural orders, and repeated technical objections, justified an award of substantial indemnity costs.

The court reviewed each applicant’s bill of costs and assessed overall reasonableness, reducing or excluding amounts relating to deferred motions for security for costs and instances of over‑lawyering.

Several cost awards were fixed globally rather than assessed strictly by docketed hours.

Substantial indemnity costs were awarded to multiple applicant groups in varying amounts.

Applicant Counsel

Teplitsky Colson LLP et al. v. Malamas et al., 2012 ONSC 3546

The applicants, comprising 27 parties adverse to the respondent in 14 different actions, brought an application to declare the respondent a vexatious litigant under section 140 of the Courts of Justice Act.

The respondent had a history of commencing multiple actions against his former lawyers and others, alleging widespread conspiracies and fraud after losing previous litigation.

The court found that the respondent persistently instituted vexatious proceedings without reasonable grounds, sought to relitigate previously decided issues, and failed to pay outstanding costs orders.

The court granted the application, prohibiting the respondent and his corporations from instituting or continuing any proceedings without prior leave of the court.
