The Tribunal fixed costs in favour of the Respondents because they prevailed on the principal issues, the Commissioner unreasonably persisted in pursuing an arrangement that was legally and practically foreclosed after the Divestiture announcement and adopted contentious litigation tactics that significantly increased Respondents' costs; counsel fees were fixed at top end of Column V of Tariff B for Rogers ($414,720.00) and Shaw ($416,187.00) and disbursements were awarded to Rogers ($9,298,152.58) and Shaw ($2,836,920.30) with limited specific deductions for certain expert fees, and no costs…
