The following excerpt is from Apartments International Inc. v. Metropolitan Toronto Condominium Corporation No. 1170, 2002 CanLII 21843 (ON SC):
C. Campbell J. in Jhaj v. York University [2002] O.J. No. 128 stated that: ... the awarding of costs, particularly on a motion, should reflect some basis of continuity between similar kinds of motions and not be determined only on the basis of the number of hours involved. (para. 19) He went on to say : ... the cost award need not in my view bear a proportional relationship to the bill as between a lawyer and his or her client in every case.(para. 21)
