Decision on miscellaneous motion, The appellants (applicants) have brought a motion seeking a declaration that the "appropriate scale of costs" referred to in the reasons of the court should be solicitor and client costs. There can be no doubt that this action arose as a result of the expropriation of an interest in land. In accordance with the provisions of sections 35 and 52 of the Nova Scotia Expropriation Act (prior to recent amendments), the appellants (applicants) are entitled to be paid their solicitor and client costs throughout these proceedings. The order will therefore go that the appellants (applicants) are entitled to their costs on a solicitor and client scale throughout these proceedings including their costs of this application. Granted, no order as to costs |
