CITATION: Jones v. Jones, 2016 ONSC 7185
COURT FILE NO.: (Kitchener) 224/16
DATE: 2016-11-18
SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE - ONTARIO
RE: Mark Lewis Jones, Appellant
A N D:
Mandy Jones, Respondent
BEFORE: The Honourable Mr. Justice A.J. Goodman
COUNSEL: A. Towlson, for the Appellant
R. Wrubel, for the Respondent
HEARD: In writing
E N D O R S E M E N T
[1] I invited the parties to provide their respective submissions on the issue of costs, whether entitlement or quantum ought to be ordered in favour of either party.
[2] I have received the submissions of counsel on the issue of costs for this appeal.
[3] Appellant’s counsel chose this occasion to criticize my decision and to explain the numerous errors of my ways leading to my conclusion. That, along with her statement of, “I honestly feel nauseous at how this case was ultimately decided.” was not helpful to me in dealing with the issue of costs.
[4] The defendant was substantially successful in having the appeal dismissed.
[5] In my review of Mr. Wrubel’s bill of costs, I am satisfied that it is reasonable in the circumstances at the partial indemnity rate.
[6] Having regard to Rule 24 of the Family Law Rules and the degree of success enjoyed by the respondent in this appeal, it is ordered that the appellant pay the respondent costs fixed at $4,483.11 (all-inclusive) within 30 days.
A.J. Goodman J.
