ASSESSMENT OF COSTS – REASONS
FRANÇOIS MARTIN, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1 This assessment of costs follows a
judgment by Desjardins, Létourneau and Nadon J.J.A. on February 5, 2003,
dismissing the application for judicial review, with costs to the respondent.
[2] Counsel for the respondent filed
his bill of costs on December 15, 2003, accompanied by an application for a decision
without personal appearance of the parties.
[3]
The record shows that the respondent’s bill
of costs was served on the applicant on December 11, 2003.
[4] On January 7, 2004, a timetable was
established and was forwarded to the applicant to enable him to provide his
written submissions, which he has yet to do. In light of the foregoing, I am
ready to assess costs in favour of the respondent.
[5] The fees requested are allowed with
the exception of the application under Item 26 for assessment of costs. Since
the assessment of costs has not been challenged, 2 units are allowed.
[6] The disbursements supported by Valérie
Tardif’s affidavit are awarded as requested.
[7] The respondent’s costs are
therefore assessed and allowed in the amount of $2,927.69.
