- High Court
Respondent is not entitled to costs because he was self-represented at the recall hearing, no formal appearance or notice of opposition by counsel was filed, and behind-the-scenes assistance by counsel who did not formally appear does not qualify for an award of costs absent exceptional circumstances, which do not exist here.
