Court of Appeal for Ontario

Gismondi v. Toronto (City)

Date: 2003-06-20

Docket: CA C37934

Christopher G. Riggs, Q.C, Paula Lombardi for Appellant

David C. Moore for Respondent

Per curiam:

[1] This appeal involved a long-term employee of the City of North York who, as a result of municipal amalgamation, and through no fault of his own, lost his employment in the circumstances described in the Reasons for Judgment on the appeal. We think that in all the circumstances a relatively modest costs award is appropriate. Accordingly, the costs of the appeal and of the proceedings below including the trial and the motion before Macdonald J. are fixed at $40,000 inclusive of disbursements and GST.

Order accordingly.
