What is the impact of a court's consideration of time spent preparing for, travelling to and attending court on a motion?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Mizrahi v. Mizrahi, 2019 ONSC 5178 (CanLII):
Rule 24(12) (ii) requires the court to consider the time spent by each party in preparing for, travelling to and attending on this motion. In Jordan v. Stewart[3] Justice Czutrin observes that all litigants suffer a loss of time through their involvement in the legal process, including preparation time and attendance at court. That time is not necessarily recoverable. Evidencing one’s claim, carefully organizing and disclosing documents, preparing for and attending court is the duty of all litigants.
