This was a costs endorsement following a prior decision on trustee compensation in an estate matter.
The court considered competing costs requests from an objector, a charitable beneficiary, and the solicitor for the estate trustee.
Applying proportionality principles drawn from appellate and estate costs authorities, the court declined to award the full amounts sought and reduced the claims where the work performed did not justify full recovery.
Fixed costs were awarded to the objector, the charitable beneficiary, the estate trustee's solicitor, and another participant.
