Following a motion and counter-motion where the applicant was largely successful in obtaining support and dismissing a contempt motion, both parties sought costs.
The respondent sought full recovery costs alleging bad faith by the applicant for breaching a court order.
The court found no bad faith or malice, noting both parties exhibited some unreasonable conduct.
As the largely successful party, the applicant was awarded costs on a partial recovery basis fixed at $6,000, as no formal offers to settle were made.
