ASSESSMENT OF COSTS – REASONS

MICHELLE LAMY, ASSESSMENT OFFICER

[1]               This is the assessment of the respondent’s costs following the judgment dated January 26, 2006.

[2]               Considering the appellant specified in writing that it did not contest the assessment of the costs as submitted, the fees are set at $1,548 for items 19 (5 units), 22 (2 units x 2.75 hours), 25 (1 unit), and 26 (2 units) of Tariff B. I reduced the number of units requested for the assessment of the costs to 2, considering that it is a simple uncontested matter.

[3]               All the expenses incurred in this case, which were proven by affidavit, are allowed in the amount of $558.27.

[4]               Therefore, the respondent’s costs are assessed and allowed in the amount of $2,106.27. A certificate is issued for this amount.
