The respondent sought costs following her successful motion for summary judgment and the applicant's cross-motion in a family law proceeding.
The respondent had served two offers to settle and was successful on the issues of custody, access, life insurance, medical and dental benefits, and a no-contact order.
The court found that the respondent acted reasonably and was focused on settlement, whereas the applicant acted unreasonably by failing to provide disclosure and focusing on unfounded allegations.
The court awarded the respondent costs on a full indemnity basis fixed at $28,212.52.
