Following a trial that determined the parties' date of separation, the applicant sought costs.
The applicant had served an offer to settle that was less favourable than the trial outcome, entitling her to full recovery costs from the date of the offer.
The court applied the principles of proportionality and reasonableness, reducing the claimed disbursements for investigative services but largely accepting the applicant's fee claims.
Costs were fixed globally at $200,000 inclusive of disbursements and tax.
