What is the value of the litigation?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Tait v. Barker, 2016 MBQB 148 (CanLII):
If both counsel were acting on a pro bono basis, the current litigation may have been worth every penny. Otherwise it is one more example of an exercise in intransigence on the part of one or both parties, and the infliction of yet more financial damage on one another – all for little in the way of net gain. If I require support for that statement, I would only refer to my earlier decision in this same matter (see Barker v. Barker, 2008 MBQB 299).
