This is a costs endorsement following motions where the court determined primary residence and decision-making responsibility for a child, and ordered the child's return to Ontario from Prince Edward Island.
The applicant mother sought costs against the respondent maternal grandmother and the respondent father.
The court found the mother was largely successful against the maternal grandmother and partially successful against the father.
While the maternal grandmother's conduct was unreasonable, it did not meet the high threshold for a finding of bad faith.
The court awarded fixed costs to the mother against both respondents, taking into account their financial circumstances and allowing for payment over time.
