Decision on the bill of costs, (taxed at the amount of $471,78) re: Gagné & Marcotte, Reg, The Supreme Court dismissed these eight applications for leave on March 10, 2005, awarding costs to the respondents in each of the files. The instant decision concerns the bills of costs of the respondents Réal Marcotte and Kathleen Joan Gagné, which are disputed in all eight files. On reviewing the applicants' memorandums, the memorandum and letters filed in response and the submissions of counsel of record regarding the bills of costs, I noted that a single memorandum of argument or letter was filed for the respondents, including Réal Marcotte and Kathleen Joan Gagné who are represented by the same law firm. Counsel may not claim costs for each of the respondents they represent where a case is based on the same facts and raises identical legal issues. My conclusion is therefore as follows. File 30648: The fees set out in the bill of costs ($350 and $25.65), $40 for the taxation, $31.78 for disbursements and the $50 fee paid to the Registrar are awarded once only. Files 30645, 30646, 30647, 30649, 30650, 30651 and 30655: The amount of $350 in fees, $40 for the taxation, $31.78 for disbursements and the $50 fee paid to the Registrar are awarded once only. The bill of costs is taxed accordingly. Allowed in part, no order as to costs |
