ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS
ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1] On May 11, 2000, the Federal Court of Appeal allowed the appeal with costs. The Appellant filed a bill of costs in writing without personal appearance. Directions were issued to both parties setting a timetable for serving and filing of materials, including written submissions. The Respondent, did not file any submissions in response.
[2] In absence of a response from the Respondent, I examined the items claimed in the bill of costs to ensure that they were within the parameters of the Federal Court Rules and Tariff B. As per Tariff B, I have used the unit value of 110 effective April 1, 2001, not a unit value of 200 as specified in Appellant's Bill of Costs. Therefore, I allow the Appellant's Bill of Costs, presented at $4,662.90, at $2,952.90.
