Undertakings, Settlement, Costs

Pullano v. Hinder 2017 Ont SCJ

An undertakings and refusals motion was settled. The only issue remaining was costs. The judge noted that undertakings had to be fulfilled and if a party does not answer them the party could anticipate a costs award against it. The judge assessed costs at $3,500 and had no qualms about doing so even though the only issue before him was costs.
