The Court applied r15.23 as the starting point but exercised its discretion to limit costs because only an originating application and a first call occurred; the respondent's claimed preparation was excessive for the procedural first call and the court accepted the applicant's reduced claim, awarding costs of $1,430 to the respondent.
