Following the successful defence of a contempt motion brought by the respondent, the applicant sought full indemnity costs of $8,296.52.
The court found that the respondent acted in bad faith by bringing six meritless contempt charges to perpetuate litigation and attack the applicant personally.
The court rejected the respondent's arguments regarding impecuniosity, noting her income of nearly $100,000.
The applicant was awarded costs of $6,800, with a slight reduction due to his delay in providing benefits information.
