ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
FRANÇOIS PILON
Assessment Officer
[1] The appeal was dismissed with costs on November 21, 2001. On August 16, 2002, Nathalie Labbé, counsel for the Department of Justice, filed the respondent's bill of costs and asked that it be assessed without a personal appearance by the parties. As there have been no written submissions by the appellant within the deadlines specified by the Registry, we will proceed to assess Her Majesty's bill of costs.
[2] The taxable services under items 19 and 22(a) and the services rendered under items 25 and 26 are allowed. The claim under item 17 for preparation, filing and service of the notice of appearance is denied. In my opinion, that item applies to the filing of the notice of appeal, not filing of the appearance. Further, the 3 units claimed in item 21(a) following the interlocutory order made on June 8, 2000, are denied as the Court said nothing about costs for the motion in question.
[3] The taxable disbursements were proven in the affidavit in support of the bill of costs and are allowed in the amount of $545.64. The respondent's costs are assessed and allowed in the amount of $2,013.04. A certificate of the assessment officer will be issued for that amount.
