Can a team approach to litigation be successful?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Inzola Group Limited v The Corporation of the City of Brampton, 2017 ONSC 3822 (CanLII):

While a team approach to litigation was successful in this case, and may offer many professional and strategic benefits, it is an approach which by definition drives legal fees higher and although such an approach may be entirely appropriate as between a law firm and its client, parties who adopt such an approach to litigation cannot reasonably expect that, even when they are successful, the greater costs arising from this approach will always be borne by the unsuccessful party: Real Group v. Core Precision, [2011] O.J. No. 4454.
