Background: This case involves an assessment of costs following a Federal Court of Appeal order from April 14, 2020, which dismissed Robert Harold Keenan's motion for reconsideration "with costs payable to the respondent forthwith."
Facts: The respondent filed a Bill of Costs, an Affidavit of Disbursements, and Written Submissions on Costs, which led to the assessment of costs without Keenan filing any responding documents.
Issues/Main Discussion: The absence of responding documents from Keenan left the respondent's Bill of Costs substantially unopposed, leading to an assessment based on the available documents and relevant legal standards.
Ruling: The costs were assessed according to Tariff B, considering the necessity and reasonableness of the claimed services and disbursements.
Amount Awarded: $1,394.76 payable by Robert Harold Keenan to the respondent, His Majesty The King.
