HAIM PINTO
Appellant
AND
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Respondent
ASSESSMENT OF COSTS – REASONS
MICHELLE LAMY, ASSESSMENT OFFICER
[1] This is an assessment of costs owed to the respondent following a judgment delivered on May 4, 2005. 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. The package was returned to us on September 7, 2005 marked “unclaimed”. On September 8, 2005, the package was resent to Mr. Pinto by regular mail. Having received no response to date from Mr. Pinto, 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 $1,780 are allowed for items 2 ($600), 13(a) ($360), 14(a) ($460), 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] The costs incurred in this appeal for photocopying and service are allowed as requested in the amount of $343.48.
[4] The applicant’s costs are accordingly assessed and allowed in the amount of $2,123.48. A certificate is issued for that amount.
DATED AT MONTRÉAL, THE 14TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2005.
