Following a family law trial where success was divided, both parties sought costs.
The applicant husband claimed success on a proprietary interest issue regarding the matrimonial home, while the respondent wife claimed success on custody, child support, and section 7 expenses.
The court found that the husband's failure to amend his pleadings until trial undermined his costs claim, and his settlement offer was unclear and did not resemble the final result.
Given the divided success at trial, the court ordered no costs to either party.
