Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Pierce v. Neville, 2015 ONCJ 240 (CanLII):
[66] As D.C. Price J. noted in the case of Vetro v. Vetro, 2011 CarswellOnt 14094, 2011(Ont. S.C.), to do this I must take into account the reasonable expectation of the parties concerning the amount of costs. I must in effect: step back and examine the overall award with a view to determining whether it is 'fair and reasonable' for the kind of matter involved. In making this determination, I take into account the reasonable expectation of the parties concerning the amount of costs.
