[5] The number of units claimed under item 26 will be reduced to 3 units since I am not convinced of the complexity or that any undue amount of work was required for the assessment of this Bill of Costs. [6] The disbursements claimed under Tariff B are allowed as claimed considering the evidence adduced within the affidavit of disbursements of Joanne Jaworsky sworn on March 13, 2001 and the fact that the opposing party did not object to any of the amounts claimed. Thus, the total amount allowed for disbursements in this matter is $335.51. [7] Accordingly, the Respondent's costs are allowed in the amount of $1,835.51. As a result, a certificate is issued for this amount. "Johanne Parent" J.
