I allowed the following fees: item 5 – preparation and filing of a contested motion (6 units), item 6 – appearance on a motion, for each hour (0.52 x 2 units), item 25 – services after judgment not otherwise specified and item 26 – assessment of costs (2 units). I adjusted item 6 because, according to the Court record of April 23, 2007, the hearing began at 9:55 am and ended at 10:26 am, that is, 31 minutes rather than the 15 minutes claimed. [5] Disbursements are allowed in the amount of $652.50. All disbursements are allowed except for travel costs because no Court order allowed travel costs for a second counsel. Therefore, I allowed printing costs and costs of bailiff services because the evidence was established by affidavit and the expenses seem reasonable to me. I allowed only one travel cost, that is, for Stéphanie Dion. However, I modified the number of kilometres between Montréal and Ottawa to 200 km x $0.51= $102, which appears to me to be more reasonable considering the distance between Ottawa and Montréal. Therefore, disbursements for the travel costs of one counsel are allowed in the amount of $352.67. [6] The bill of costs submitted in the amount of $2,284.17 is allowed in the amount of $1,857.30. A certificate of assessment will be issued for this amount.
