This is a costs endorsement following an appeal.

The Court of Appeal for Ontario fixed the costs of the appeal in the amount of $15,000, all-inclusive, payable by the appellants to the respondent within 30 days of the endorsement's release.

The appellants sought an adjournment of their appeal, citing illness and lack of preparation, which was denied by the Court of Appeal.

The court proceeded with the appeal in writing, finding it to be without merit and brought primarily for delay.

The court upheld the application judge's finding that the lease was properly terminated and that the tenants owed rent arrears, dismissing the appeal with costs.
