The applicant sought an order to register and enforce a Certificate of Costs issued by the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the respondents.
The underlying British Columbia action involved a dispute over the management of a company, resulting in a judgment and an award of special costs against the respondents due to reprehensible conduct.
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice found that the British Columbia court had a real and substantial connection to the litigation and properly exercised jurisdiction.
As the respondents established no applicable defences, the court granted the order to register and enter the Certificate of Costs in Ontario.
