BETWEEN:
BACARDI

Appellant
AND
HAVANA
CLUB HOLDINGS S.A.
Respondent
ASSESSMENT OF COSTS – REASONS
MICHELLE LAMY, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1]
This is an assessment of the respondent’s costs
following a decision delivered on June 8, 2004, by the Federal Court of
Appeal. Only Karine Iskandar, an articling law student, appeared at the
hearing of October 13, 2005, as the appellant had already indicated to her that
it did not intend to contest the costs as requested.
[2]
Under the circumstances, costs are allowed as
follows: $6,155.95 in file A‑447-03 (fees of $5,038.10, or $4,380 x
GST/PST + disbursements of $1,117.85) and $7,751.07 in file A‑448‑03
(fees of $5,038.10 + disbursements of $2,712.97). Since the assessment was not
contested, I am allowing two units under section 26 in each file. Note that
the amounts allowed
under item 26 are reduced by half in accordance with item 28 of the
Tariff, as those services were provided by an articling law student.
[3]
Certificates of assessment are accordingly
issued in files A-447-03 ($6,155.94) and A‑448‑03 ($7,751.07), and
a copy of these reasons is placed in file A-448-03.
