This is a costs decision following a successful appeal by the appellants.
The appellants sought recovery of costs from the respondents, specifically requesting the same amounts that had been awarded to them at first instance ($51,885.55 from Christine DeJong Medicine Professional Corporation and $14,017.28 from Dennis and Peggy Condos).
The respondents sought no costs, arguing that all parties were victims of fraud and that the contest was between victims.
The court awarded costs to the appellants as requested, finding this to be a just and fair disposition given that the appellants were successful on all aspects of the appeal and that no costs of the appeal had been awarded to them despite their success.
