What proportion of the total costs relating to the lease issue and damages?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Seaport Crown Fish v. Vancouver Port Corp., 2000 BCSC 68 (CanLII):
The proportion of the total costs which relates to the lease issue is usually determined by estimating the court time devoted to the issue: Ferguson v. Ferguson (1996), 1996 CanLII 1495 (BC SC), 28 B.C.L.R. (3d) 39 (S.C.). In this case I estimate that a little more than 60 percent of the 1995 trial was devoted to the lease issue and a little less than 40 percent to damages. All the time in this court subsequent to publication of my 1995 reasons for judgment was devoted to the damages issue.
