BETWEEN:
THE MINISTER OF NATIONAL REVENUE
DIANE PERRIER, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1] On September 20, 2007, the Court issued an order dismissing with costs the appeal of Prothonotary Richard Morneau’s decision made on June 19, 2007.
[2] On April 1, 2009, the applicant filed his bill of costs and requested that it be assessed without appearance of the parties. On April 23, 2009, letters were sent to the parties setting a deadline for filing written representations. Donald Duperré, counsel for the respondent, informed us that he no longer represented the respondent. On May 21, 2009, letters were sent to counsel for the applicant, counsel for the respondent and the respondent, setting a new deadline for filing written representations. To date, having not received any written representations from the parties, I am now ready to proceed with assessing the applicant’s bill of costs based on the documents on record.
[3] Counsel fees are allowed in the amount of $910. I allowed item 5 – preparation and filing of a contested motion, including all documents and responses thereto (column III – 5 units) and item 26 – assessment of the bill of costs (column III – 2 units). I reduced the number of units for the assessment of costs from 4 to 2 units because the assessment is neither contested nor complex. It should be noted that the counsel fees have been calculated based on the value of the unit, which has been worth $130 since April 1, 2009.
[4] The applicant’s bill of costs submitted at $1,080 is assessed and allowed in the amount of $910. A certificate of assessment will be issued for this amount.
