The plaintiff has claimed 5 units for each day of trial, for a total of 45 units. The defendant submits that the plaintiff is entitled to only five units on the authority of Ebrahimi v. Stevenson, 2006 BCSC 983.
Ebrahimi v. Stevenson is an appeal from a registrar’s decision. One of the issues on appeal was whether the plaintiff was entitled to 5 units for each estimated day of trial in a matter that settled before that trial commenced.
