Is 25 cents per page reasonable on party/party assessments for special costs assessments?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Perone v. Baron, 2012 BCSC 912 (CanLII):
It follows that if 25 [cents] per page is reasonable on a party/party assessment, it is more than reasonable in the assessment of special costs. Traditionally, the registrars have allowed 30 [cents] per page in special costs assessments: Giulani v. Saville, supra.
