Cost appeals

Fernandes v. RBC Life Insurance Company, 2009 ONCA 864, released today, makes the well known point that appeals of cost orders will seldom succeed. The Court holds:

[23]         The jurisdiction of this court to interfere with a trial judge's discretionary costs award is limited.  Absent an error in principle or unless the award is plainly wrong, appellate intervention is precluded
