The applicant successfully brought a motion to discharge a writ of execution registered against the matrimonial home by the respondent's former solicitor for unpaid legal fees.
The applicant then sought full indemnity costs for the motion.
The court awarded costs of $8,667.79 on a full indemnity basis, finding that the applicant had made a reasonable offer to settle that exceeded the third party's recovery, and that the third party had taken unreasonable positions in opposing the motion.
