The following excerpt is from Islam v. Nova Scotia (Human Rights Commission), 2012 NSSC 266 (CanLII):
The applicant seeks costs on a solicitor-client basis. He bases his argument on the fact that the Commission’s breach of procedural fairness resulted in significant delay to the fair adjudication of his complaint. (See Radulesco v. Canadian Human Rights Commission, 1984 CanLII 120 (SCC), [1984] 2 S.C.R. 407.)
