This was a costs endorsement following a family trial concerning the father's claim for unsupervised access and, to a lesser extent, joint custody or decision-making respecting the child.
The court rejected any suggestion of divided success and found the matter should have been resolved without trial.
The court held the respondent's inflexible position made settlement impossible and accepted the time spent and hourly rates of the applicant's counsel as reasonable and necessary.
Costs were awarded to the applicant inclusive of disbursements and HST.
