The applicant father brought an urgent motion regarding the school registration of the parties' child, which was dismissed.
The respondent mother subsequently sought costs of $8,460.16 for both the urgency and substantive motions.
The court found that the applicant's initial response to the school registration decision, which included threats of litigation and allegations of fraud, constituted unreasonable behaviour.
The court awarded the respondent her costs for both motions, fixing the quantum at $7,500 inclusive of fees, disbursements, and HST, after deducting clerical work and costs related to preparing the costs submissions.
