A costs decision arising from interim motions in a condominium governance dispute between an owners’ group and the condominium corporation’s board of directors.
The court had previously ordered that an annual general meeting be held and later addressed a further urgent motion concerning voting eligibility for owners in arrears due to a disputed special assessment.
Applying Rule 57.01 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, the court assessed costs only for work directly related to the August attendance, awarding partial indemnity costs of $5,500 payable by the condominium corporation.
The court declined to award costs for the later attendance, finding the motion misguided because the relief granted had not been sought in the filed materials.
