Docket: A-22-02

Citation: 2006 FCA 24

BETWEEN:

ANTHONY JURAK

Appellant

and

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

Respondent

ASSESSMENT OF COSTS - REASONS

MICHELLE LAMY, ASSESSMENT OFFICER

[1]                This is an assessment of costs following a judgment dated February 3, 2003. On October 18, 2005, we sent a letter to the appellant requiring him to file his written submissions against the respondent's bill of costs. To date, there has not been a reply to our request.

[2]                In the circumstances, with the exception of item 26, the bill of costs is assessed as submitted since all of the claims are reasonable and consistent with the application of Tariff B in general. I am awarding 2 units for the assessment of costs since this is a very simple matter and is not contested. Note that the fees are calculated according to the value of the unit, which has been $120 since April 1, 2005.

[3]                A certificate of assessment is therefore issued in the amount of $1,515.85.

Signed: "Michelle Lamy"
