Following a trial regarding child support, the court considered written submissions on costs.
The applicant sought up to $58,050 on a substantial indemnity basis.
The court noted that success was divided, both parties were responsible for an unacceptable 14-year delay, and the respondent failed to provide full financial disclosure.
Considering proportionality and the parties' unreasonable positions, the court awarded the applicant $12,000 in costs on a partial indemnity basis.
