Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Dragon Systems Inc. v. Kolvox Communications Inc., 1996 CanLII 8174 (ON SC):
First, this is not a matter for solicitor-and-client costs. There is a genuine dispute between the parties on the contract interpretation, and there was a genuine dispute as to whether this was a proper case for an interim injunction. To quote McLachlin J. at p. 283 of Young v. Young (1993), 1993 CanLII 34 (SCC), 108 D.L.R. (4th) 193, [1993] 4 S.C.R. 3, 18 C.R.R. (2d) 41: Solicitor-client costs are generally awarded only where there has been reprehensible, scandalous or outrageous conduct on the part of one of the parties.
