What standard of review applies to a registrar’s decision assessing costs?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wood v. Kabaroff et al, 2006 BCSC 1391 (CanLII):
Both counsel agreed that – absent jurisdictional questions – the appropriate standard of review is whether the registrar erred in principle: Frost v. Frost, 1940 CanLII 245 (BC CA), [1941] 1 D.L.R. 774, (1940), 56 B.C.R. 30 (C.A.). This standard of review clearly applies to a registrar’s decision assessing costs.
