Does the Respondent have to pay the legal costs of the Estate Trustee of the respondent in a personal injury action?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Fraser (Shaw) v Shaw, 2016 ONSC 1073 (CanLII):
As the estate trustee of the estate, the respondent should not be out of pocket on this motion; he is entitled to be made whole. As he is a beneficiary of the estate, were his costs paid by the estate, he would indirectly be paying a portion of his own legal costs. (See McDougald Estate v. Gooderham)
