Background: Celedonia Haug, the appellant, brought a case against Randy Elbert Funk, Canadian Road Management Company, and Huth Holding Inc. The initial legal dispute involved issues not specified in the supplementary judgment but resulted in an appeal to the Court of Appeal for British Columbia.

Legal Arguments/Issues: The appeal primarily addressed the issue of who should bear the costs associated with the appeal process. Celedonia Haug argued that the respondents, Randy Elbert Funk and the associated companies, should be responsible for the costs. Conversely, the respondents contended that each party should bear its own costs or that the appellant should cover the costs due to the appeal's outcome.

Court's Ruling: The Court of Appeal, comprised of the Honourable Chief Justice Bauman, the Honourable Mr. Justice Harris, and the Honourable Mr. Justice Willcock, decided that each party would bear its own costs of the appeal. This ruling was delivered as a supplementary reason to the initial judgment, indicating a decision on costs separate from the main legal issues of the case.

Costs/Damages Awarded: No specific monetary award or cost amount was granted in favor of either party. The court's directive for each party to bear its own costs meant that no additional financial burden was placed on either side as a result of the appeal.
