Heard: June 29, 2017

On appeal from the order of Justice Sean F. Dunphy of the

COSTS ENDORSEMENT

[1]

The respondents were successful on the appeal and are entitled to costs
    on the appeal.

[2]

While we do not consider the presumption in s. 137.1(7) of the
Courts
    of Justice Act
, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.43
as
    applicable on appeal, we do have regard to the nature of the suit in fixing
    costs of the appeal. In our view, this suit had the markings of a true SLAPP.
    We award costs of the appeal on a full indemnity basis and fix those costs at
    $40,000, inclusive of taxes and disbursements.
