DIVISIONAL COURT
Re: Singh v. Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal
Before: Lane*, Kiteley and Swinton JJ.
Counsel: Ravinder Sawhney for Mr. Singh Brad Elberg for the Tribunal
Heard at Toronto: By written submissions
COSTS ENDORSEMENT
1The respondent Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal seeks costs of $2,000.00 for this application. The applicant submits that no costs should be awarded because of his financial circumstances.
2The Tribunal was successful on this application, and costs normally follow the event. While the bill of costs sets out $17,663.11 in total fees, disbursements and taxes, the Tribunal seeks $2,000.00. That is a fair and reasonable amount in the circumstances of this application. Therefore, costs are awarded to the respondent in the amount of $2,000.00, inclusive of GST and disbursements.
