ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
FRANÇOIS MARTIN, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1] This is an assessment of costs pursuant to the order delivered by Décary, Nadon and Pelletier JJ.A. on March 10, 2003, allowing the motion to dismiss the application and dismissing the application for judicial review, with costs to the respondent.
[2] Counsel for the respondent filed his bill of costs on December 16, 2003, accompanied by a request for a decision without personal appearance of the parties.
[3] The record indicates that the respondent's bill of costs was served on the applicants' counsel on December 12, 2003.
[4] A schedule for the filing of submissions was drawn up and conveyed to the parties on January 12, 2004. No submission has been filed to date. In view of the foregoing, I am prepared to assess the costs in favour of the respondent.
[5] The fees requested are allowed except in regard to the request under item 26 for the assessment of costs. Since the assessment of costs was not disputed, two units will be allowed for this item.
[6] The disbursements in the amount of $24.42 are allowed as requested.
[7] The respondent's costs are therefore assessed and allowed in the amount of $794.42.
