Superior Court of Justice - Ontario

CITATION: Tax Recovery v. Ghangas, 2016 ONSC 5944

COURT FILE NO.: C-1051-15

DATE: 2016-09-22

RE: Tax Recovery Group (First Nations) Inc., Plaintiff

AND:

Raj Ghangas, Defendant

BEFORE: The Honourable Mr. Justice R.D. Reilly

COUNSEL: Robert W. Scriven, Counsel for the Plaintiff Piet de Jong, Counsel for the Defendant

Ruling on Costs

[1] The court has ruled on the motion. The plaintiff was successful with respect to the relief sought by the plaintiff. Counsel for the plaintiff and counsel for the defendant have now filed written submissions with respect to costs. I have carefully considered these submissions and rule as follows.

[2] The plaintiff was successful on the motion, receiving the substantial portion of the relief which it sought. I have carefully considered the written submissions of plaintiff and defendant and rule that the defendant should pay the plaintiff costs of the motion on a partial indemnity basis of $7,556.91, inclusive of HST and disbursements. These costs also include the costs of the motion attendance on March 10, 2016 before Mr. Justice Taylor, who ordered, in addition to interim injunctive relief, that costs of that appearance be reserved to the judge hearing the injunctive motion. In other words, to this court.

[3] I have carefully considered the written submissions of the parties and conclude that the submissions of the plaintiff, the Tax Recovery Group (First Nations) Inc. are fair and representative of the success which they enjoyed on the motion. I therefore direct that the defendant shall pay costs to the plaintiff as detailed above.

R.D. Reilly J.
