The following excerpt is from Islam v. Nova Scotia (Human Rights Commission), 2012 NSSC 266 (CanLII):

The applicant seeks costs on a solicitor-client basis. He bases his argument on the fact that the Commission’s breach of procedural fairness resulted in significant delay to the fair adjudication of his complaint. (See Radulesco v.
