What is the current state of the law on costs under the Rules of Civil Procedure?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Mokhov v. Ratayeva, 2021 ONSC 5797 (CanLII):
As a result, case law pertaining to costs decided under the Rules of Civil Procedure should be approached with some caution. For example, in Beaver v. Hill, 2018 ONCA 840 at paras. 9-11, Nordheimer J.A. noted that there is no provision in the Family Law Rules that provides for a general approach of “close to full recovery” costs. Rather Rule 24(12) outlines appropriate considerations in fixing the quantum of costs.
