Following the dismissal of the applicants' motions for a stay of a Ministerial Directive, the court determined the costs of the motions.
The intervenor's request for costs was denied, as the opposition to the stay was already mounted by the respondents.
The respondent Tikinagan sought partial indemnity costs of approximately $108,000.
The court found this amount excessive, noting the public interest nature of the case, the overlap of work with the main applications, and the principle of proportionality.
Costs were fixed at $50,000 payable to Tikinagan, with each applicant responsible for $25,000.
