Two (2) pre-trial conferences were held in this file on October 27 and December 7, 1999, for a total of 2.25 hours. Since subsection 2(2) of Tariff B provides that an assessment officer shall not allocate a number of units that includes a fraction, I will allow three units for those services for a total of $675.00 (3 units x 2.25 hours). The plaintiff's counsel fees are assessed at $10,553.54 ($9,175.00 plus $1,378.54 for taxes). [5] As for the $614.03 claimed for disbursements, Mr. Leduc's explanations have satisfied me that this amount is reasonable and justifiable in this case. [6] The plaintiff's costs in this case are therefore assessed and allowed in the amount of $11,167.57. ________________________ MICHELLE LAMY ASSESSMENT OFFICER MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC April 3, 2001 Certified true translation Sophie Debbané, LL.B.
