TAXATION OF COSTS - REASONS
MICHELLE LAMY, TAXING OFFICER
[1] This is a taxing of the bill of costs of the respondent Nathalie Beaudet-Fortin, pursuant to the judgment delivered by the Court of Appeal on November 26, 1999 dismissing the applicant's application for judicial review with costs. The taxation was held on June 7, 2000 with Claude Tardif, counsel for the respondent, present. The applicant was not represented, though it was duly served.
[2] Following the submissions of Mr. Tardif, the respondent's fees are allowed as follows: item 19 (7 units), item 22(a) (2 hours x 3 units), item 25 (1 unit) and item 26 (2 units) for an amount of $1,600. The claim made under item 22(b) is disallowed, as the Court of Appeal's judgment nowhere mentions the fact that fees may be claimed for a second counsel. In the taxation as such, two units are allowed as the action was not opposed.
[3] In light of the evidence presented at the taxation by Mr. Tardif regarding disbursements of some $1,320.27 for the cost, inter alia, of photocopies and preparation of the appeal memorandum, these are allowed as requested.
[4] The bill of costs of the respondent Nathalie Beaudet-Fortin is accordingly taxed in the amount of $2,920.27 and a certificate issued for this amount.
