Following a family law trial concerning spousal support and equalization of net family property, the successful party sought substantial indemnity costs.
The court considered written submissions after its earlier decision and noted that the opposing party had been unreasonable during the litigation and had failed to provide full financial disclosure.
The court accepted counsel’s representation that not all time spent had been billed due to the client’s limited means.
Finding the requested amount reasonable in the circumstances, the court awarded costs in the amount sought.
The costs were ordered payable forthwith.
