JUSTICE JOHN A. O'KEEFE IN THE MATTER OF THE PENSION ACT, R.S.C. 1985, c. P-7 AND IN THE MATTER OF THE VETERANS REVIEW AND APPEAL BOARD ACT, R.S.C. 1985, c.

[1] This is a motion in writing (Rule 369 of the Federal Court Rules, 1998) made by the applicant pursuant to Rules 403(1)(a) and (2) and Rule 400 (1), (2) and (3) a, c, g, h, i, k and o of the Federal Court Rules, 1998. [2] When I rendered judgment in this matter on January 28, 2002, I ordered that the applicant would "have his allowable costs of the application". [3] These words, "allowable costs" are a direction to the assessment officer for the assessment of the applicant's costs. [4] I have considered the submissions of both parties and I am of the opinion that I have already made my order as to costs and with that order, the assessment officer can assess the amount of the applicant's costs including the items for which the applicant seeks directions. It is not necessary to issue the directions requested by the applicant. [5] I am further of the view that Rule 403(1)(a) and (2) in this case, only contemplates giving directions to the assessment officer respecting an order made with respect to costs. It does not contemplate directions which would change the cost order (see Stuart v. Canada (1989) 27 F.T.R. 65 (F.C.T.D.) and Nordholm I/S v. Canada (1996) 107 F.T.R. 317). These two decisions were made under the former Rules of the Court, but the provisions are substantially the same. [6] The applicant's motion is therefore dismissed. [7] There shall be no order as to costs of this motion. ORDER [8] IT IS ORDERED that: 1. The applicant's motion is dismissed. 2. There shall be no order as to costs of this motion. "John A.
