                                            ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS

DIANE PERRIER, ASSESSMENT OFFICER

[1]                On April 6, 2001, the Court (Desjardins, Décary and Noël JJ.A.) dismissed the appeal with costs.

[2]                On June 11, 2004, Dominique Guimond, respondent's counsel, filed his bill of costs and asked that it be assessed without personal appearance of the parties. On July 8, 2004, we sent letters to the parties setting out a schedule for filing their submissions. No written submissions have been filed to date and I will now proceed with the assessment of costs in accordance with the documentation in the record.

[3]                The fees claimed are awarded with the exception of item 26. Item 26 is reduced to 2 units since the assessment of costs was not challenged.

[4]                The disbursements in the amount of $200.00 are awarded since they are considered reasonable and they were established by the affidavit of Renée de Varennes.

[5]                The bill of costs is therefore assessed and allowed in the amount of $2,103.00. An assessment certificate will be issued for that amount.
