ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
FRANÇOIS PILON
[1] The Applicant's motion to extend time for the filing of an Application for Judicial Review was dismissed with costs on November 18, 1998.
[2] Ms. Kathryn Kielly submitted the Bill of Costs on behalf of the Respondent. The applicant, Mr. David Tench, did not appear at the taxation hearing, although having been served with a copy of the Bill of Costs and of the Appointment.
[3] In the Bill of Costs, Ms. Kielly asked for 5 units for the preparation and filing of Respondent's Motion Record (item 5). The five (5) units will be allowed as requested. Respondent's Motion Record was comprehensive and elaborate in the circumstances. Moreover, counsel was also served with the Applicant's response to her Motion Record which included a letter, an affidavit and a Memorandum of Fact and Law. The two (2) units requested to assess costs are at the bottom of the scale and are therefore allowed.
[4] In conclusion, the Respondent's Bill of Costs is assessed in the amount of $700.00. A Certificate of Assessment will issue accordingly.
