Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Moberg v. Patafie, 2012 ONSC 902 (CanLII):
She specifically addressed the eight factors listed in Rule 58.06(1) of the Rules of Civil Procedure to be considered by an Assessment Officer on an assessment of costs. She made reference to the case law prohibiting the allowance of costs for extra services not reasonably necessary by citing Singer v. Singer (1976), 1975 CanLII 662 (ON SC), 11 O.R. (2d) 234 (S.C.), where full indemnity costs were held to be limited to those services reasonably necessary for the prosecution of an action.
