What is the legal test for recoverable costs?
Prince Edward Island, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ellen Creek v. CADC & ano., 2009 PESC 17 (CanLII):
...As I am advised by Oliver v. Severance, I should not apply a strict arithmetic calculation in order to determine costs, but it is a factor to consider. Likewise, what each of the solicitors in this case bill their clients is not necessarily determinative of recoverable costs from the unsuccessful party.
