In Ontario, a "Bill of Costs" is a document prepared and submitted to the Court when a Judge is about to determine whether a party to a court case should pay court costs to the other.
This document tells the Judge how much work was completed in connection with a step in the case (a motion or a trial, for example) and by whom. The actual amount of time spent will also be included. The Judge will know from the document the names of the lawyers involved and their seniority. The work of Law Clerks and students will also be listed.
Generally speaking, costs are not ordered in connection with Case Management hearings like Case Conferences and Settlement Conferences.
Often, Bills of Costs present two scenarios for the costs requested - Full Indemnity and Partial Indemnity. For factors taken into account by the Court in assessing costs in a family law case, as well as the scale, speak to a family law lawyer.............
