How has the BCSC treated special costs in a personal injury case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from McIntyre v McIntyre, 2019 BCSC 2209 (CanLII):
The duration of the proceeding was lengthened by both the uncertainty surrounding the client's future self-sufficiency and the respondent's obstructive behaviour before his current counsel came on board. The respondent's behaviour which resulted in an award of special costs is summarized in McIntyre v. McIntyre, 2018 BCSC 472, at paragraph 8, and quoted above.
