CORMIER v CORMIER

This was a Decision regarding Costs. The Court considered the factors listed in Rule 10.33. In this case, the unsuccessful party did not sign a transfer of land despite being legally obligated to do so, and forced the successful party to resort to a time-consuming and expensive Court proceeding in order to ensure that a land sale went through. While the Court determined that the successful party should be awarded Costs, Friesen J. held that the circumstances of this case did not warrant the solicitor-client costs sought by the successful party.
