The parties sought costs following decisions on June 6 and June 21, 2016, regarding child support and a contempt motion.
The applicant mother sought costs on a full recovery or substantial indemnity basis, arguing the respondent father acted in bad faith by refusing mediation and pursuing contempt.
The court found the respondent acted unreasonably and in bad faith by ignoring the applicant's offers to mediate.
The applicant was awarded costs of $6,200 on a substantial indemnity scale.
