Supplementary Reasons of the Court





Summary:

Supplementary reasons as to
costs.

Supplementary Reasons for
Judgment of the Court:

[1]

The general rule is that the successful party is entitled to costs.
Section 23 of the
Court of Appeal Act
provides:

Costs

23
Unless the court
or a justice otherwise orders, the party who is successful on an appeal is
entitled to costs of the appeal including the costs of all applications made in
the appeal.

In my view, there are no reasons to depart from the general rule in this
case: see
Mapara v. Ferndale Institution (Warden)
, 2013 BCCA 120;
Vukelich
v. Mission Institution,
2005 BCCA 75.  The successful respondent is
entitled to costs.

The
Honourable Madam Justice Stromberg-Stein

The
Honourable Mr. Justice Goepel

The Honourable Mr.
Justice Savage
