Following a motion for temporary child and spousal support, the court addressed the outstanding issue of costs.
The moving party had been successful on the earlier motion, which determined the responding party’s income and ordered support accordingly.
The court found that settlement had been hindered by the responding party’s lack of disclosure.
While the successful party sought over $51,000 in costs on a full indemnity basis, the court concluded that full indemnity was not justified and fixed costs at $25,000 inclusive of disbursements and GST.
