LÉOPOLD ROGER BERTRAND
Appellant
AND
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Respondent
ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
MICHELLE LAMY, ASSESSMENT OFFICER:
[1] This appeal was dismissed with costs on November 30, 1998.
[2] The respondent filed her bill of costs on July 26, 1999 and requested an assessment without personal appearance of the parties. The appellant was accordingly notified that he was required to file written representations by August 20. As of today's date, no representations have been received from the appellant.
[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 $1,100 are allowed for services rendered under items 19 (5 units), 22(a) (2 units x 1.5 hours), 25 (1 unit) and 26 (2 units) of Tariff B, Column III, as well as costs of $547.79 for costs of service and photocopies. 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 respondent's costs for the instant matter are assessed and allowed in the amount of $1,647.79 and a certificate is hereby issued for this amount.
