ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
MICHELLE LAMY, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1] This is an assessment in writing of the costs owed to the respondents following an order of November 22, 2002, in which the Court ordered that the amendment of the appeal book be done [TRANSLATION] "at the appellant's expense under Tariff B, that is pursuant to item 18 of the Tariff, as well as the usual photocopying costs, namely $0.40 a page".
[2] On August 17, 2004 we sent a letter to Jean-Yves Migneault by registered mail requiring him to make written submissions in opposition to the respondents' bill of costs. The envelope was returned to us with the notation [TRANSLATION] "address unknown". In the circumstances, this bill is assessed on the basis of the documentary evidence submitted by the respondent.
[3] The fees are allowed in the amount of $330 for services rendered under items 18 (1 unit) and 26 (2 units). I have reduced the number of units requested under item 26 to 2 units, as the assessment was unopposed. The disbursements for photocopying costs totalling $425.60 are awarded. The expenses incurred for serving the appeal book are not allowed, as their recovery is not mentioned in the order of November 22, 2002.
[4] The respondents' costs are assessed and allowed in the amount of $755.60. A certificate is issued in that amount.
