Court File and Parties

COURT FILE NO.: CV-20-621 DATE: 2020-07-08 SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE - ONTARIO

RE: 2261358 Ontario Inc., Applicant AND: Peter Kompter, Respondent

BEFORE: Justice G. E. Taylor

COUNSEL: Sandra Watson, Counsel for the Applicant Peter Kompter, In Person

Addendum to Cost Endorsement

[1] On May 8, 2020, I released a ruling granting an interlocutory injunction to the applicant. In that ruling I requested written submissions with respect to costs and established a timetable for delivery of those submissions. The submissions of the respondent were due on or before May 22, 2020. The respondent did not file any submissions regarding costs. Accordingly, I proceeded to fix the applicant’s cost of the motion. My Cost Endorsement was released on June 12, 2020.

[2] After my Cost Endorsement was released, it came to my attention that the respondent had not received my original ruling. I therefore temporarily stayed enforcement of the cost award and granted the respondent until June 24, 2020 to file responding cost submissions. The cost submissions have now been received.

[3] I have considered the submissions by the respondent with respect to the costs of the applicant. The respondent’s position is that there should be no costs awarded to the applicant.

[4] Unfortunately, the respondent’s cost submissions are primarily a repetition of the submissions he made on the hearing of the injunction motion. I found the respondent’s submissions to be unhelpful to me in determining the appropriate quantum of costs to be awarded to the applicant.

[5] Although I have considered the respondent’s written cost submissions, I am not convinced that my original cost ruling should be revised.

[6] For these reasons, my Cost Endorsement is confirmed and the temporary stay of enforcement of that cost award is lifted.
