ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
FRANÇOIS MARTIN, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1] This assessment of costs is pursuant to the order made by Mr. Richard Morneau, Prothonotary, on April 2, 2004, ordering the respondent to pay the applicant the sum of $10,809.00 with interest at the legal rate from the putting in default dated July 30, 2003, plus the additional indemnity provided in article 1619 of the Civil Code of Québec, with costs against the respondent.
[2] Counsel for the applicant filed his bill of costs on July 5, 2004, accompanied by a request for a decision without personal appearance of the parties.
[3] On August 31, 2004, a copy of the applicant’s bill of costs was sent to the respondent so it could present its representations in writing, which it has still not done to this date. In view of the foregoing, I am prepared to assess the costs in favour of the applicant.
[4] The fees requested are allowed with the exception of the request under item 26 for the assessment of costs. Since the assessment of costs was not contested, 2 units are allowed.
[5] The disbursements are allowed as requested.
[6] The costs of the applicant are therefore assessed and allowed in the amount of $2,097.91. A certificate shall issue for that amount.
