ASSESSMENT OF COSTS – REASONS
DIANE
PERRIER, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1]
On
September 20, 2007, the Court issued an order dismissing with costs the appeal
of Prothonotary Richard Morneau’s decision made on June 19, 2007.
[2]
On
April 1, 2009, the applicant filed his bill of costs and requested that it be
assessed without appearance of the parties. On April 23,
2009, letters were sent to the parties setting a deadline for filing written
representations. Donald Duperré, counsel for the
respondent, informed us that he no longer represented the respondent. On
May 21, 2009, letters were sent to counsel for the applicant, counsel for the
respondent and the respondent, setting a new deadline for filing written
representations. To date, having not received any written
representations from the parties, I am now ready to proceed with assessing the
applicant’s bill of costs based on the documents on record.
[3]
Counsel
fees are allowed in the amount of $910. I allowed
item 5 – preparation and filing of a contested motion, including all documents
and responses thereto (column III – 5 units) and item 26 – assessment of the
bill of costs (column III – 2 units). I reduced the
number of units for the assessment of costs from 4 to 2 units because the
assessment is neither contested nor complex. It should
be noted that the counsel fees have been calculated based on the value of the
unit, which has been worth $130 since April 1, 2009.
[4]
The
applicant’s bill of costs submitted at $1,080 is assessed and allowed in the
amount of $910.
A certificate of assessment will be issued for this amount.
