Is there any duplication of legal services or duplication of costs for services in this appeal?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Drumonde v. Moniz, 2000 CanLII 16994 (ON CA):
[5] In my view, the reasons in Charleston Partners v. Dickinson are not applicable to the facts in this appeal. In the matter before me, the parties agree that the defendants’ solicitor acted for the defendants from the commencement of the action and on the appeal in 1998. He is the only solicitor of record for that party and there is, therefore, no issue of duplication of costs for services or the necessity of the legal services.
