The landlord successfully moved to quash the tenants' appeal of a Residential Tenancies Act eviction order.
The landlord sought costs of $8,065.47 on a substantial indemnity basis, arguing the appeal was meritless and a delaying tactic.
The self-represented tenants, whose only income was from the Ontario Disability Support Program, argued for a costs award of $500.
The court declined to award punitive substantial indemnity costs, finding the tenants were entitled to their day in court, and fixed costs at $1,250 all-inclusive.
