Facts

The Respondent withdrew a claim, leading to an award of party-and-party costs to the Applicant. The Applicant seeks a decree for these costs.

Issues

  1. Competency of the Application
  2. Whether the Court should enter judgment for the Respondent on the Certificate of Stated Costs

Reasoning

The costs were a standalone enforceable order and the Applicant did not need to move this Court to obtain a decree. The application is therefore incompetent.

Outcome

Dismissed with costs

Orders

  • The Notice of Motion is dismissed with costs.
