COSTS ENDORSEMENT

[1]

On July 28, 2021, we released our decision in
    which we dismissed the appeal and the cross-appeal of the costs order. We
    invited the parties to make written submissions on the costs of the appeal. We
    have now reviewed those submissions.

[2]

The respondent asks for his costs of the appeal
    in the amount of $38,580. The appellant submits that the costs should be fixed
    in the amount of $7,500.

[3]

In our view, taking into account the issues
    raised in the appeal and the limited resources of the parties, an award of
    costs in favour of the respondent in the amount of $15,000, inclusive of
    disbursements and HST, is a fair and reasonable amount for the appellant to
    bear.

[4]

The appellant is ordered to pay that amount to
    the respondent.
