Respondent
ASSESSMENT OF COSTS -- REASONS
DIANE PERRIER, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1]
On April
1, 2004, the Federal Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal with costs from a
decision by the Tax Court of Canada regarding reassessments by the Minister of
National Revenue for the taxation years 1993 to 1996 inclusive.
[2]
On July
27, 2005, the respondent filed her bill of costs and asked that it be assessed
without personal appearance of the parties. On August 29, 2005, we sent letters
to the parties setting out a schedule for filing their submissions. We received
a phone call from Mrs. Grenier, Mr. Grenier’s spouse, informing us that he was
in the hospital and therefore unable to respond to his bill of costs.
Subsequently, we contacted Mr. Grenier, who informed us that he was available
to challenge the bill of costs. On December 5, 2005, we once again sent letters
to the parties setting out a new schedule. No written submission have been
filed to date and I will now proceed with the assessment of costs in accordance
with the documentation of record.
[3]
The fees
claimed are awarded with the exception of item 26. Item 26 is reduced to 2
units since the assessment of costs was not challenged.
[4]
All
disbursements are awarded with the exception of the service of the Notice of
Appearance in the amount of $64.10 because the Notice of Appearance is not an
assessable service under Tariff B.
