ODCDivisional CourtSep 18, 2006

Request for costs against applicant's counsel denied as no reprehensible conduct was established.

Following the dismissal of the applicant's judicial review application, the respondents sought costs against the applicant's counsel, the African Legal Clinic (ACLC).

The respondents argued the ACLC was the real litigant and made extreme allegations.

The Divisional Court dismissed the request, finding no evidence of reprehensible, scandalous, or outrageous conduct by the ACLC.

The court also noted the matter raised novel issues of public importance, making a costs award inappropriate.

No costs were ordered.

Judicial review of student's expulsion for bringing a knife to school dismissed; proceedings were procedurally fair.

The applicant sought judicial review of a school board decision upholding her son's limited expulsion for bringing a concealed knife to school and threatening another student.

The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that the principal's inquiry and the board's appeal hearing were procedurally fair.
