Thompson v. Tallon, 2008 ONCA 43

1This appeal is from an order fixing the costs of two actions at $12,588 and $5,849 after the appellant filed notices of discontinuance. We agree with the respondent that the appeal must be quashed for want of jurisdiction. The amount in issue falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Divisional Court. Moreover, as this is an appeal from a costs order, leave to appeal is required and the appellant has not sought leave to appeal. Motion granted and appeal quashed. Costs to the moving party fixed at $3,000 inclusive of GST and disbursements.
