SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE - ONTARIO

RE: CAMERON v. CAMERON

BEFORE: WHITAKER, J.

COUNSEL:
H. Niman, for the Applicant
D.S. Jarvis, for the Respondent

HEARD: September 20, 2012

ENDORSEMENT

1 . I have reviewed the written costs submissions of the parties.

2 . I have considered the factors set out in Rule 24 of the Family Law Rules and Rule 57 of the Rules of Civil Procedure. These factors should inform the exercise of my discretion to award costs.

3 . The issues in dispute here were significant to the parties if not complex. The motion before me took less than two hours. It appears that the motion before Wilson J. was less than three hours.

4 . Costs should be proportionate to the issues determined and within the reasonable expectations of the parties.

5 . The applicant was for the most part successful and is presumptively entitled to costs.

6 . I have reviewed the offers to settle made prior to the motion before me.

7 . The applicant is entitled to her costs of the two motion attendances and some costs incurred in connection with the questioning of the parties.

8 . For all of this, the applicant’s costs are fixed at $25,000.00 inclusive of taxes and disbursements.

Whitaker, J.
