The appellants applied under Rule 62 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Canada to review the Registrar's taxation of costs, which had been awarded to the respondent on a solicitor and client basis.
The appellants argued the Registrar erred in principle by deferring to counsel's estimate of preparation time rather than applying the proper factors.
The Court dismissed the application, finding that the Registrar had properly considered the relevant factors and that the total time allowed, while seemingly high, was not clearly wrong or the result of an error in principle.
