This endorsement addresses a Rule 14B motion brought by the respondent to correct mathematical errors in a prior uncontested trial judgment regarding equalization payments and to revisit the costs award.
The court identified and corrected several inadvertent mathematical and typographical errors in the calculation of the parties' net family property and date of marriage deductions, which resulted in a revised equalization payment.
The court also reconsidered the costs award, finding that the initial fixed sum was based on incomplete information regarding the respondent's legal dockets.
Consequently, the costs awarded to the respondent were increased.
The endorsement further provides directions for the proportionate payment of outstanding professional fees and shortfalls from the sale proceeds of the matrimonial home and cottage, given insufficient funds.
