Following a successful appeal from a Small Claims Court decision, the appellant sought costs of $23,800.
The court found this amount disproportionate to the $7,000 originally awarded at trial.
Applying the principles of proportionality under the Rules of Civil Procedure and the Courts of Justice Act, the court fixed the appellant's costs at $500 for the trial and $5,000 for the appeal, for a total of $5,500.
