A non-party insurer sought directions from the Court of Appeal regarding the timing of payment for costs orders issued by the Court of Appeal and a lower court judge.
The insurer requested that the costs be payable within thirty days of the appeal hearing date.
The Court of Appeal clarified that the costs were payable forthwith as of the date the appeal was dismissed, with no contrary order having been made.
The Court also awarded costs of the motion itself to the respondent.
