ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
DIANE PERRIER, ASSESSMENT
OFFICER
[1]
On May 4, 2007,
the Court dismissed with costs the applicant’s application for an extension of
time to file an application for judicial review.
[2]
On July 27, 2007, counsel for the respondent
filed his memorandum of costs and asked that it be assessed without appearance
by the parties. On June 6, 2008, we sent letters to the parties with a schedule
for filing their written submissions. As no written submissions were received,
I am now prepared to assess the memorandum of costs in accordance with the
documentation in the record.
[3]
I awarded $1,
699.20 to be assessed for fees. The respondent is claiming for item 5 –
preparation and filing of a contested motion, including the documents and
responses relating thereto (7 units), for item 6 – appearance on a motion, per
hour (3 units x 1.72 hours x $120) and for article 26 – assessment of
costs (6 units). I awarded the fees as claimed with the exception of the
assessment because it is not contested.
[4]
The
disbursements of $25 seem reasonable to me in the circumstances of the matter
and they will be awarded.
[5]
The
memorandum of costs for $2,203 filed by the respondent is assessed in the
amount of $1,724.20. A certificate of assessment will be issued for that
amount.
