ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
MICHELLE LAMY, ASSESSMENT OFFICER:
[1] This action was dismissed with costs to the defendant on July 2, 1998, pursuant to Rule 440 of the Federal Court Rules.
[2] The defendant filed her bill of costs on June 10, 1999 and requested an assessment without appearance of the parties. The plaintiff was accordingly notified that it was required to file written representations by July 2. As of today's date, no representations have been received from the plaintiff.
[3] In light of the above and the factors listed in Rule 400(3) of the Federal Court Rules, counsel fees in the amount of $1,200 are allowed for services rendered under items 2 (6 units), 4 (3 units), 25 (1 unit) and 26 (2 units) of Tariff B, Column III, as well as costs of $12 for service of the defence. The number of units for the assessment is reduced to 2 units as this proceeding was uncontested and was relatively simple to prepare.
[4] The defendant's costs for the instant matter are assessed and allowed in the amount of $1,212 and a certificate is hereby issued for this amount.
