(FAMILY DIVISION)

Citation: Borden v. Borden, 2014 NSSC 163

Date: 2014-05-02

Docket: No. 1201-66709

Registry: Halifax

Between:

Tamara Margaret Borden

Petitioner

v.

Robert Lawrence Borden

Respondent

 

Judge:

The Honourable Justice Deborah Gass

 

 

Written Costs Submissions:

April 15 & 30, 2014

Counsel:

Nicole A. Figueira, for the Petitioner

Lola Gilmer, for the Respondent


By the Court:

[1]             I have considered the representations of both counsel in this matter.  I will not reproduce the oft cited case law on this issue or the relevant Civil Procedure Rules.

[2]             As is so often the case in family matters where there are a number of different issues, success was mixed.  This often results in the parties bearing their own costs.

[3]             However, the Petitioner did incur significant costs to get this matter before the court for a final resolution, some of which came about by agreement, and the rest by court order.

[4]             Under the circumstances I am ordering the Respondent to contribute the sum of $750.00 towards the costs incurred by the Petitioner to bring this matter to a conclusion.

Gass, J.
