ENDORSEMENT

[1] There is no merit to this motion, inter alia, questioning the constitutional validity or application of s. 140 of the Courts of Justice Act and the costs order of the application judge. The quantum of costs awarded was reasonable and there is no error in awarding costs against an in-person litigant in the circumstances of this matter.
