Following the dismissal of both the appellant's appeal and the respondent's cross-motion for leave to appeal costs, the parties made written submissions on costs.
The self-represented respondent sought approximately $40,000 in costs, claiming lost remuneration as a contractor.
The appellant argued for no costs due to divided success.
The Court of Appeal ordered no costs of the appeal, finding that success was divided and noting the additional time incurred due to the respondent's late filing of the cross-motion.
