At the conclusion of this judgment, Her Majesty the Queen was ordered to remove two letters from the files of Antoine Zarzour, an inmate, and to pay damages in the amount of $15,000.00 with interest and the costs of the action. [2] On December 18, 2000 this appeal was allowed with costs, the decision of the Trial Division judge was set aside and the respondent's action was dismissed with costs. The cross-appeal was also dismissed with costs.

To date, no submissions have been filed by Mr. Zarzour although he was notified by a letter dated August 16, 2001 to submit his written representations in opposition to the appellant-defendant's bills of costs. [4] Having examined the records and the evidence submitted by Her Majesty the Queen in support of her bills of costs, we award the fees and disbursements as requested, with the exception of items 26. The number of units requested under items 26 has been reduced to 2 units, as the assessment of the bills of costs was not disputed. Given that the value of the unit was readjusted by the Chief Justice on April 2001 pursuant to subsection 4(1) of Tariff B, and that the appellant filed her bills of costs after that date, we have made the adjustment in calculating the amount of the fees. [5] Consequently, the appellant-defendant's fees are assessed and allowed in the amount of $6,238.43 for the Appeal Division and $8,693.42 for the Trial Division. A certificate shall issue in each of the divisions. [6] A copy of these reasons shall be placed in the Trial Division docket bearing number T-1368-97.
