RE:
MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES (Respondent (Respondent in Appeal)) - and - DONALD B. MOSHER and LAUREL MOSHER (Applicant (Appellant in Appeal))
BEFORE:
CRONK J.A.
COUNSEL:
Donald B. Mosher, in person
Elaine Atkinson, for the respondent
HEARD:
July 24, 2003
ADDENDUM
1Further to my endorsement released on September 3, 2003 in this matter, I have received the written costs submissions of the Minister of Natural Resources. Although provided with an opportunity to do so, the moving party, Donald B. Mosher, has not filed any submissions on costs.
2On behalf of the Minister, the Crown seeks its reasonable costs of responding to the unsuccessful stay motion brought by Mr. Mosher. In responding to the motion, the Crown prepared a motion record, including affidavit materials, and a factum. It also appeared before this court by teleconference on three separate occasions concerning the motion. Further, it was ultimately successful in resisting the requested stay.
3In my view, the Crown is entitled to costs of the motion on a partial indemnity basis. The Crown seeks costs in that regard in the limited amount of $500. In all the circumstances, I consider that amount to be more than reasonable. Accordingly, the Crown is entitled to its costs of the motion, as sought, in the total amount of $500.
