[1] On November 24, 2000 the respondent Dicom Express Inc., through its counsel Normand Laurendeau, filed its bill of costs pursuant to the Court's judgment on June 14, 2000 and asked that the assessment of costs proceed without a personal appearance by the parties.
[2] On December 19, 2000 we caused a copy of the bill of costs to be sent to Ernest Guiste, counsel for the appellant, inviting him to submit his comments in opposition to the said bill by January 12, 2001 at the latest. As no representations have been made, we are prepared to assess the respondent's costs.
