The court declined to award costs for an abandoned residential tenancy appeal to preserve access to justice.
The appellant abandoned her appeal of a Landlord and Tenant Board decision.
The respondent landlord sought costs for the abandoned appeal.
The court considered Rule 61.14(4) of the Rules of Civil Procedure and the discretion under s. 131 of the Courts of Justice Act.
The court declined to award costs, finding that the appellant's decision to abandon the appeal after obtaining the transcript was responsible and that a significant costs award would impede access to justice.
