Following the dismissal of two related appeals brought by groups of developers, the successful municipal respondents sought costs.
The City of Mississauga sought partial indemnity costs of $70,379.25, while the Region of Halton and City of Burlington sought full indemnity costs of approximately $176,000.
The Court of Appeal determined that costs should follow the event on a partial indemnity scale.
Considering the complexity of the issues, the prior proceedings before the Ontario Municipal Board and Divisional Court, and the consolidated hearing, the court awarded $50,000 to Mississauga and $50,000 to Halton and Burlington.
