ASSESSMENT OF
COSTS – REASONS
MICHELLE LAMY, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1]
This is an assessment of costs pursuant to the
judgment by default dated February 13, 2006, on the plaintiff’s
motion ex parte. Under the circumstances, I am prepared to proceed with
the assessment of its bill of costs based on the proceedings in the record.
[2]
In light of the criteria set out in subsection
400(3) of the Federal Court Rules, the fees are set in the amount of
$1,242.27 ($1,080 x GST/QST) for the following services: items 1 (4
units), 4 (2 units), 25 (1 unit) and 26 (2 units). As this was an action to
recover an amount less than $5,000, and as the matter was never contested, I
award the minimum number of units provided under column III of Tariff B for
each of the services requested. Also, there will be no compensation awarded
under item 7 because there was no discovery of documents in this matter within
the meaning of section 222 et seq. of the Rules.
[3]
Disbursements in the amount of $90.23 incurred
for photocopying and service fees are approved as requested.
[4]
For these reasons, the plaintiff’s costs are
assessed and allowed in the amount of $1,332.25. A certificate is issued for
that amount.
