The applicant was previously successful in an application to cancel a matrimonial home designation registered by the respondent, which had interfered with her mortgage renewal.
The parties made written submissions on costs.
The court found that the applicant made a reasonable offer to settle and obtained an order as favourable as her offer, triggering the costs consequences under Rule 18(14) of the Family Law Rules.
The court rejected the respondent's argument that costs should await the outcome of his application to set aside the separation agreement.
Costs were fixed at $18,500 plus disbursements, payable forthwith.
