What are the costs of a successful Applicant in a medical malpractice proceeding?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Brunico Communications Inc. v. Canada (Attorney General), 2004 FC 1306 (CanLII):
Costs, of course, can never fully compensate a successful Applicant for the costs incurred in a proceeding. As Wetston J. stated in Apotex v. Wellcome Foundation, [1998] F.C.J. No 1736 at para 7: An important principle underlying costs is that an award of costs represents a compromise between compensating a successful party and not unduly burdening an unsuccessful party.
