The appellants appealed an assessment officer's decision ordering them to pay $41,541.79 in legal fees to their former lawyers.
The appellants, who were self-represented, argued that the lawyers did not justify their fees and raised various procedural and ethical complaints.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, finding no error in principle, misapprehension of evidence, or palpable and overriding error in the assessment officer's decision, and noted the appellants' inconsistent arguments and disruptive behaviour during the proceedings.
