I did not allow item 7 since it is meant to compensate for services rendered under section 222 and following of the Federal Courts Rules that deal with the discovery of documents in an action, not a judicial review. Furthermore, item 24 – travel by counsel to attend a hearing cannot be allowed because this item is at the discretion of the Court and since the order of March 19, 2007, is silent on this point, the assessment officer cannot award it. [4] Disbursements in the amount of $280.53 are allowed for the costs of serving the respondent’s record and for the photocopying costs because they have been proven by an affidavit and they appear reasonable to me. [5] The respondent’s bill of costs in the amount of $2,980.53 is assessed and allowed in the amount of $2,380.53. A certificate of assessment will be issued for this amount. “DIANE PERRIER” ASSESSMENT OFFICER QUÉBEC, QUEBEC December 24, 2007 FEDERAL COURT SOLICITORS OF RECORD DOCKET: T-1328-06 STYLE OF CAUSE: HEBA HITTI and YOUSSEF HITTI and MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION REASONS BY ASSESSMENT OFFICER: DIANE PERRIER DATED: December 24, 2007 SOLICITORS OF RECORD: Alain Adam Gatineau, Quebec FOR THE APPLICANTS Ian Demers Department of Justice Canada Montréal, Quebec FOR THE RESPONDENT
