ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
MICHELLE LAMY, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1] On January 25, 2001, the Court allowed this action and ordered the defendant to pay costs. The assessment of the plaintiff's costs took place on May 24, 2001, with Léanne Souquet in attendance. The defendant was not present despite having been duly served.
[2] The evidence submitted by the plaintiff in support of its bill of costs having been reviewed, all disbursements and counsel fees are allowed as submitted, except for those claimed for the preparation of written argument in response to the notice of status review, since Ms. Souquet was unable to refer me to any specific item in Tarif B to justify her claim. I told Ms. Souquet that the units for assessment of costs would be reduced since this proceeding was not contested. I will therefore allow 3 units under item 26.
[3] The plaintiff's costs are therefore assessed at $13,553.02. A certificate will issue for that amount.
