    High Court

    Defendant entitled to costs under r 15.23 but failed to establish that preparation of the notice of opposition and supporting affidavit required a comparatively large amount of time; therefore C band disallowed and B band applied. Costs for the memorandum in support of the costs claim were disallowed because Schedule 3 does not provide for that step and no basis for exercising the Court's overriding discretion was established. Costs quantified at 4.3 days on a category 2 basis ($1,180 per day) = $8,084 plus disbursements $337.97.
