The Children’s Aid Societies do not have immunity from costs simply because they act as protector of children. The discretion to deal with costs must be exercised in an attempt to deal justly with the case in the principles articulated by Justice Katarynych (Catholic Children’s Aid v. V.(S) and V.(A) court file C4290/99)
