RE: GOPAL RAI (Applicant) – and – THE HONOURABLE MADAM JUSTICE MONIQUE MÉTIVIER (Respondent)
BEFORE: JUSTICES MATLOW, BROCKENSHIRE AND MAZZA

DATE HEARD: In writing
ENDORSEMENT RE COSTS
1We are all of the view that the respondent is entitled to the costs of this application fixed at $7500 in total payable within one month from today.
2In arriving at this disposition, we have concluded that there is no reason in the circumstances of this case to depart from the usual rule that costs on a partial indemnity basis should follow the event.
3As well, we are guided by the decision of the Court of Appeal in Boucher v Public Accountants Council, 71 O.R. (3d) 291 and we have endeavoured to make an award that is fair and reasonable and within the limits of the reasonable expectations of the parties.
