REASONS FOR ORDER

NOËL J.A.

[1]               The application to strike does not meet the high threshold required to dismiss an application for judicial review on a preliminary basis.

 

[2]               The respondent seeks an increased award of costs. I see no basis for such an award. Costs will be calculated at the mid range of Column III.
