AND

 

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

 

Respondent

 

 

ASSESSMENT OF COSTS – REASONS

 

 

MICHELLE LAMY, ASSESSMENT OFFICER

 

 

[1]               This is an assessment of costs following the judgment delivered on October 18, 2004, dismissing the appeal.  On August 16, 2005, we sent by registered mail a copy of the respondent’s bill of costs, along with a letter directing the appellant to file his submissions in writing by September 16, 2005.  Having received no response to date from the appellant, I am ready to assess the costs on the basis of the proceedings on record.

[2]               In light of the foregoing, fees in the amount of $1,300.08 are allowed for items 19 ($600), 22(a) ($340.08), 25 ($120) and 26 ($240) of Tariff B.  I have adjusted the amount allowed under item 26 for the assessment of costs, as this proceeding was not contested.

[3]               Photocopying, transcription and service costs in this appeal are allowed as requested in the amount of $590.64.

[4]               The respondent’s costs are accordingly assessed and allowed in the amount of $1,890.72.  A certificate is issued for that amount.

 

DATED AT MONTRÉAL, THE 14TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2005.
