ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
FRANÇOIS PILON
Assessment Officer
[1] On August 1, 2001, the Court dismissed with costs the appellant's motion to stay execution of the trial order and sale of the seized movables. The respondent subsequently filed its bill of costs and asked that it be assessed. However, on January 22, 2002, I decided that assessment of this bill was premature since the appeal had not yet been heard on the merits.
[2] On May 6, 2002, the Court dismissed the appeal for delay and counsel for Her Majesty asked that the bill of costs now be assessed without a personal appearance by the parties. Since the appellant's deadlines for filing written submissions against the bill have now expired, I will proceed with the assessment.
[3] Counsel for the respondent claimed for the following fees:
item 21 2 units
item 25 1 unit
item 26 3 units
[4] These claims are reasonable and are allowed. Finally, the bailiffs' fees are allowed in the amount of $60.46.
[5] The respondent's costs are assessed and allowed in the amounts of $660.00 for fees and $60.46 for disbursements. A certificate will be issued in the amount of $720.46.
