Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
The Supreme Court of British Columbia judge ordered that each party should bear their own costs in a family law matter. The cost of the court transcripts were ordered to be shared equally by the parties. Harris J.A. dismissed the applicant’s application for leave to appeal the costs order. He held that the applicant has not demonstrated the existence of an arguable error in principle in the exercise of the trial judge’s discretion, and it was not in the interests of justice to grant leave to appeal. The Court of Appeal dismissed the applicant’s application to vary the order of the chambers judge dismissing her application for leave to appeal the costs order made by a Supreme Court judge.
