Following dismissal of an application seeking a certificate of pending litigation and specific performance relating to two Brampton properties, the successful respondents sought costs exceeding $10,000 on a partial indemnity basis.
The applicant argued the requested costs were excessive given the limited length and complexity of the hearing.
The court agreed that the hours claimed and counsel fee were excessive for a matter argued in under two hours.
Costs were reduced and fixed at $5,807 inclusive of HST and disbursements.
