Is a mother barred from making a claim for time spent that is not discrete to a particular step in the case?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Oduwole v. Moses, 2016 ONCJ 653 (CanLII):

[33] However, the mother is not precluded from making a claim for time spent that is not discrete to a particular step in the case. Costs accrued from activity not specifically related to the step (not requiring judicial intervention) should be dealt with at the end and not by the motions judge. See: Houston v. Houston, 2012 ONSC 233; Walts v. Walts, 2014 ONSC 98. This means that the court can consider the time the mother spent preparing her pleadings and financial statements, providing and reviewing financial disclosure and exchanging correspondence.
