M. Smith J.

This is a costs decision following a motion by the self-represented plaintiff, Troy Warren, to amend his Statement of Claim.

While the plaintiff succeeded in adding Canada Post Corporation as a defendant, his request to add several individual defendants was denied.

The defendant, Telus Health (Canada) Ltd., sought costs of $21,476.79 on a partial indemnity basis.

The court found the motion was straightforward and that the hourly rates of Toronto-based counsel were excessive for an Ottawa-based matter, ultimately awarding Telus Health $15,000 in all-inclusive costs.
