It is a longstanding tradition in civil law that the court will assign a cost penalty to the losing party to help reimburse the winning party for the fees they had to spend for a lawyer to bring the matter before the court. The size of the award is typically based on the bill for the winning parties lawyer. In general the court would assign approximately 70 % of the lawyers bill as a cost penalty. If the losing party acted in bad faith causing unnecessary or protracted litigation, full indemnity costs may be ordered requiring the loser to pay all of the winning parties lawyers fees. Cost penalties are completely at the discretion of the presiding justice. Judges may alter the percent of lawyers fees awarded, or decline to order costs, or even award costs to the losing party instead. This study examines 515 cost penalties made against family law litigants between the years 2000 and 2008 from the Ontario Superior Courts. All data was taken from the Canlii legal network, and no cases that gave the dollar value of cost penalty awards were omitted. Cases which could be clearly identified as interim motions, full divorce trials, or post divorce variations have been separated so the costs of these specific actions can be evaluated. The cases used in this study are listed in Appendix 1. Extracts from selected cases have been included in Appendix 2. Conclusions may be found on page 8 following a summary of the data.

Interim penalties include all pretrial hearings. Some interim issues may require several hearings to resolve an issue. Post trial variations may also require interim hearings. Cost determinations may be made with the motion or reserved for the trial judge. Interim cost penalties made against men were ( 100 – [ 3.49 / 5.74 x 100 ] ) 39.2 % higher than women on average. Median interim cost penalties were ( 100 – [ 2.00 / 3.00 x 100 ] ) 33.3 % higher. Assuming interim cost penalties are 70 % of fees charged by lawyers, the average lawyers fee for an interim motion is ( 5.12 100 / 70 ) 7.31 K. The median fee is ( 3.00 x 100 / 70 ) 4.29 K.

Divorce trial cost penalties may include interim motions or just the trial itself. Cost penalty rulings made against men were ( 100 – [ 42.7 / 59.9 x 100 ] ) 28.7 % higher than women on average. Median divorce trial cost penalties were ( 100 – [ 20.8 / 21.3 x 100 ] ) 9.8 % higher. Assuming divorce trial cost penalties are 70 % of fees charged by lawyers, the average lawyers fee for an interim motion is ( 56.5 100 / 70 ) 80.7 K. The median fee is ( 21.1 x 100 / 70 ) 30.1 K

Most post divorce variations are to vary either custody and access provisions or support. Variation cost penalties made against women were ( 100 – [ 11.3 / 11.9 x 100 ] ) 9.5 % higher than men on average. Median variation cost penalties made against men were ( 100 – [ 6.0 / 6.2 x 100 ] ) 3.2 % higher than those against women. Assuming variation cost penalties are 70 % of fees charged by lawyers, the average lawyers fee for a variation is ( 11.3 100 / 70 ) 16.1 K. The median fee is ( 6.2 x 100 / 70 ) 8.9 K

Men received 78.4 % of all cost penalties, which accounted for 84.5 % of total dollar values. Men paid higher cost penalties in every category except for mean variations where women paid slightly higher. Assuming cost penalties are 70 % of lawyers fees, the average lawyers fee for a full divorce trial is 80.7 K, and the median fee is 30.1 K. A full divorce trial would typically cost a divorcing family at least 60 K. The average lawyers fee for an interim motion would be 7.3 K, and the median fee 4.3 K. An interim motion would typically cost a divorcing family at least 8 K. The average lawyers fee for a variation would be 16.1 K, and the median fee 8.9 K. A variation would typically cost a divorced family at least 18 K.

The data from this study would show that either lawyers charged men and women differential rates, or judges assigned different percentages of fees as cost penalties. Assuming fees and penalties were equal for both sexes, and the loser recieved a cost penalty of 70 % of the winners fees, the chart above shows how the legal costs of family hearings would be apportioned. The odds are lowest that both partners would be charged above the mean or below the median, so the spread between them would represent the range for most divorces. Actual costs would usually be dependent on complexity, and the level of conflict between partners.

Abridged
from Statistics Canada CANSIM table 202-0403
catalogue no. 75-202-XIE
According to
Statistics Canada the average married couple with one
earner has a 2006 before tax income of 64.5 K. With 2 earners it’s 91.4 K. For
families with children it’s slightly higher. The average male lone parent
family has an income of 67.1 K, and the average female lone parent family has
an income of 40.9 K. Taxes would usually account for 25 – 35 % of incomes, and
it would cost at least 15 K per new household to survive for the year. None of
these average families can afford the costs of losing an average full divorce
without expending more than 2 years of remaining available disposable income.
None of these average families could afford to be the loser in a median full
divorce without expending more than a full years available income. After
consideration of support, it would cost a non custodial parent close to 2 years
available income to lose an average variation, and a years income to lose a
median one.
The legal costs of most family law
related court actions are high enough to cause financial damage to divorced
families. Appendix C gives many examples where costs have got out of hand. In
some cases legal costs exceeded the value of the issue litigated many times
over, or have wound up being so high they could preclude the family from
affording higher educations for their children. There are even cases listed
where judges have penalized lawyers for protracting the court proceedings. The
high costs of litigation may also force divorcing spouses to represent
themselves in court. If penalized, they are in effect forced to pay for their
partners to hire a lawyer while they do without. Average non custodial parents
would generally have incomes too high to qualify for social assistance or
government legal aid plans. The data shows that’s 139 out of 402, or 34.6 %, of
males penalized were self represented. 21 out of 113, or 18.6 %, of females
penalized were self represented. Females are more often custodial parents and
support recipients, so that may help explain some of the differences.

Janmaat v. Janmaat, 2005 CanLII
25900 (ON S.C.)
[33] Not surprisingly the submissions with respect to costs have consumed many pages – to my way of thinking a shockingly excessive number of pages. Taken together the costs claimed total about $400,000.00 – considerably more than the equalization payment and more than 50% of the net worth of both parties at the date of the separation.
[34] To my way of thinking a justice system that permits plunder of that nature, particularly when children are involved, is in desperate need of overhauling, and, but for the censure I have recently received for interfering too much with counsel at trial, I would never have permitted this trial to proceed as it did.
Lampshire v. Lampshire, 2002 CanLII
2737 (ON S.C.)
[13] The average household does not have the income to fund a heated legal battle and also save for their children’s future education. Monies expended on costly litigation over custody may well equal or exceed the costs of sending a child to college or university.
Dube v. Horzempa, 2007 CanLII 20776
(ON S.C.)
[16] I am concerned that costs in family proceedings are becoming so high that it threatens to jeopardize access to justice for many litigants contrary to a fundamental principle of any democratic society. Access to justice and to the courts of our country cannot be restricted to only those who can afford it.
Kolody Ardan v. Ardan, 2002 CanLII
2689 (ON S.C.)
At this point, neither party ought to be blamed for the circumstances in which the family has been living for some time. If costs are awarded, it will suggest both blame and vindication.
Reid v. Mulder, 2006 CanLII 9981 (ON
S.C.)
I refuse to recognize her as a “winner” at trial and designate father a “loser” by an award of costs for the trial in favour of mother. To do so, in my view, would be unjust and indeed unconscionable.
C.R.M. v. F.J.F., 2007 CanLII 53242
(ON S.C.)
Mr. F.J.F. suggests that he spent $50,000 in legal fees during the prior round of litigation and that Ms C.R.M. likely did, as well. He has chosen to represent himself in these subsequent proceedings due to the financial costs.
T.P.S. v. K.E.S, 2007 CanLII 17382
(ON S.C.)
The parties were unrepresented at trial. The children were represented by the Office of the Children’s Lawyer. Mr. T.P.S. claims that he has incurred legal costs in regard to his separation from Ms. K.E.S. in the amount of $85,827. He wishes to recover 75% of those costs. Ms. K.E.S. claims that she has incurred legal costs of $62,756. In addition she has lost $20,000 in wages.
Mr. T.P.S. incurred legal expenses of $76,819, though some of these may have related to issues not strictly covered by this matrimonial litigation. Ms. K.E.S. incurred legal expenses of $47,000. Both figures include the cost of the family unit assessment
At this point, Mr. T.P.S. incurred $9,000 in legal expenses and Ms. K.E.S. incurred $18,700 in legal expenses. This latter amount includes the cost of various court appearances required because Mr. T.P.S. was not making proper financial disclosure.
In regard to the legal costs incurred by Ms. K.E.S., the evidence is that she paid $10,038 to Peter Brennan in Waterloo, $9,373 to Karen Thompson in Oakville, $21,567 to Susan Von Achten in Milton, $2,453 to Ian Vallance in Ottawa, and $16,325 to Sean Jones in Ottawa.
Ms. K.E.S.’s legal expenses were incurred more evenly between 2000 and 2006. It was only in the period leading up to the trial and at trial that Ms. K.E.S. was unrepresented
Holmes v. Holmes, 2005 CanLII 5488
(ON S.C.)
[10] Money that was spent foolishly on this pointless litigation could have been utilized by both of them to better their lives and the lives of their children. How this couple ended up involved in this money draining ‘sinkhole’ of litigation is truly a tragedy for them and the administration of justice
Even the cost submissions probably expended thousands of additional dollars, money that the parties could not afford to spend.
Stefureak v. Chambers, 2005 CanLII
7890 (ON S.C.)
3.1(c): $100,000
in Legal Costs Incurred by the Mother
[9] Although it is obscene that anyone should have to spend $100,000 in respect of a custody application (the equivalent, perhaps, of five years of university, including tuition, books, room and board), that sad fact alone does not prove the motion. (And I expect that the father has paid, or is liable to pay, a similar amount to his counsel.)
Gartley v. Church, 2002 CanLII 2727
(ON S.C.)
[1] Mr. Gartley claimed $17,000 for the overpayment of child support to Ms. Church. He recovered judgment in the amount of $4,500 after a two-day trial and seeks costs of about $27,000. Ms. Church responds with a claim for costs in her favour of more than $25,000. The costs in issue are, therefore, about three times the maximum amount in issue on the merits and more than ten times the amount of the judgment.
O'Reilly v. O'Reilly, 2006 CanLII
44279 (ON S.C.)
[1] On September 18, 2006, I issued a decision in which I ordered that Mr. O’Reilly pay child support on an interim basis in the amount of $205 based on an imputed income of $24,228 and that Ms. O’Reilly pay spousal support to Mr. O’Reilly on an interim basis in the amount of $500
[10] This motion was very costly to both parties: the fees and disbursements charged to Ms. O’Reilly were $32,009.73, while Mr. O’Reilly’s fees and disbursements were $33,416.61
Taylor v. Taylor, 2002 CanLII 44981
(ON C.A.)
[2] Gary L. Petker represented Ms. Taylor in an acrimonious and protracted divorce proceeding from 1996 to 2001. During that time, he billed a total of $145,404.25 in legal fees. Recognizing that the breakdown of her marriage had left Ms. Taylor in a precarious financial situation, Mr. Petker agreed to continue to act as her lawyer, as long as she made some effort to pay his fees and disbursements as the litigation progressed. He informed Ms. Taylor that all legal fees would eventually have to be paid, regardless of the outcome of the litigation. As of August 21, 2001, when Mr. Petker ceased to act for Ms. Taylor, she still owed him $112,619.21
Toms v. Toms, 2008 CanLII 4792 (ON
S.C.)
[7] I asked the Respondent to provide details of the 256 hours in this matter, and I was provided with the bills sent and dockets which represented that time. I do not dispute that this time was spent, but I am still astounded that, in effect, six weeks of a year’s work time would be spent on a matter of this nature.
Vernon v. Vernon, 2006 CanLII 23266
(ON S.C.)
It would be too facile for the court to look at the Bill of Costs provided by the Respondent and simply say, “Look, the Respondent’s partial indemnity Bill of Costs amounts to $42,530, so the Applicant’s bill of $34,558 must therefore be reasonable”.
[14] It seems to me that neither of the Bills of Costs submitted in respect of this one-day motion is reasonable, as that concept is defined in Boucher and the cases that follow it
Grossi v. Grossi, 2008 CanLII 14940
(ON S.C.)
[2] The wife seeks costs on a substantial indemnity basis and supports this claim by asserting bad faith on the part of the husband. Her lawyer’s bill of costs totals $233,082.14, of which $128,318.97 is attributed to experts’ fees: $104,884.37 was paid to financial experts at Marmer Penner, and the balance of the experts’ fees was owed to Dr. Sarah Paikin, who treated the wife and gave evidence about her inability to work.
[3] The husband seeks costs or, in the alternative, seeks to have no costs awarded. His lawyer’s bill of costs totals $238,810.52, of which $71,216.71 is attributed to experts’ fees
Kloosterman v. Kloosterman, 2006
CanLII 35629 (ON S.C.)
[29] Under Rule 24 (9) of the Family Law Rules, the court may on its own initiative order that a lawyer not charge a client for certain work that may be specified in an order. In reviewing this matter, I have serious concerns that the complexity of the issues warranted a legal bill being rendered to Mrs. Kloosterman in the sum of $45,000.00. In a case where the parties do not have a lot of money, the family home is valued at no more than $100,000.00 and they have two children to support, the costs have to bear some relationship to the issues and the assets in dispute.
Biant v. Sagoo, 2001 CanLII 28137
(ON S.C.)
12 I do not know the wife’s costs, but I think it safe to estimate the costs of all three parties at a total of at least $270,000 and possibly much more
K.C. v. S.B., 2008 CanLII 5109 (ON
S.C.)
[1] On January 24, 2008, I released reasons dismissing the motion brought by S.B. (hereinafter “S.B.” or “applicant”) for leave to appeal from the order of Greer J. dated May 14, 2007
My one concern is that the order was an interim one and the question arises as to the spending of substantial sums to maintain an interim order which will be replaced in due course by a permanent order.
[22] The costs of the respondent are fixed at $53,311.58, all-inclusive.
MacRae v. Simpson, 2003 CanLII 2307
(ON S.C.)
[2] I agree with Mr. Mamo's submission that the motion was
fact driven, not particularly difficult, nor complex, especially in light of
the case-law. See: Bogue v. Bogue;
Bawitko v. Kernels Popcorn; Scherer
v. Paletta; and Bailey v. Plaxton.
[3] I also agree with Mr. Mamo's view that Mr. Simpson's counsel's claim for a costs award of $27,162.49, for what was essentially a half-day motion is both "extravagant and excessive in the extreme". I adopt the observations of Marshman J. in her costs endorsement in Hamacher v. Hamacher, unreported, released March 30, 2002, London file 183/96:
"We frequently hear and read of complaints from family law litigants about the cost of litigation. Solicitors should be attuned to the cost consequences to their clients of continuing litigation. It is totally unreasonable to expend vast amounts of time of relatively minor issues…"
"…The times expended on the file were outrageous, given the issues involved and the means of the parties. For example, the solicitor suggests that 19.6 hours of solicitor's time and 4.7 hours of law clerk's time were spent on the preparation of cost submission alone. Her claim in that regard was for $3,586.50. This
represents three months of net income to her client…"
Budnarain v. Budnarain, 2003 CanLII
11959 (ON S.C.)
[4] The defendant seeks costs on a substantial indemnity scale in the amount of $16,000. This case involves the dismissal of a claim for $20,000.
Perry v. Perry, 2008 CanLII 19238
(ON S.C.)
[2] Also, her solicitor has now submitted a Bill of Costs totalling $34,970.95. In this Bill of Costs, she bills her own services at $250.00 per hour and claims to have spent 123.15 hours on the file. She further bills an assistant at $90.00 per hour for 24.6 hours and a senior assistant for .3 hours at $125.00 per hour. I am reasonably certain that it is mere coincidence that the Bill of Costs totals $34,970.95, when compared with the equalization payment awarded of $36,874.88.
[3] I am sure that the solicitor for the wife is aware of s.46 of The Legal Aid Services Act which indicates that any costs awarded to a legally aided client, even in excess of the costs of the services rendered, belong to Legal Aid Ontario. While it is laudable on the part of the wife’s solicitor to try and assist Legal Aid Ontario with its funding problems, I do not believe that she is entitled to the hourly rate claimed under the Legal Aid Services Act regulations. I have not researched the regulations to ascertain her hourly rate, but I do not believe that the hourly rate claimed is authorized under the Act. Nor do I believe there is provision in the Act to pay for “legal assistants” who are not lawyers or students.
[4] In any event, I do not believe that 123.5 hours were warranted on this file
Cupolo v. Anzovino, 2003 CanLII 2091
(ON S.C.)
[3] So I reserved on the issue of costs and invited Ms. Guarasci’s written submissions. I have now received and reviewed those submissions. And lo and behold! She has now gone from requesting $5,000 in open court to seeking $11,258.37
Fleming v. Lamb, 2004 CanLII 5001
(ON S.C.)
[10] After a two hour motion, the $1,000 becomes $10,959, a figure which I find is out of all proportion to the issue dealt with.
Mercieca v. Merciera, 2003 CanLII
2184 (ON S.C.)
[10] In passing, I am still rather puzzled by the position taken by counsel for the applicant regarding Rothgeisser, supra. She knew of a direct authority from our Court of Appeal which said that her client could not proceed under the Divorce Act. She deliberately withheld that from both the court and the respondent. After I discovered the case, she said that she could distinguish it and that it had been distinguished before. She later failed to distinguish it and she failed to produce any authority doing so. I can see no other conclusion but that her conduct is a contravention of various aspects of Rule 4 of the Code of Professional Conduct of the Law Society of Upper Canada. Whether that conduct gets reported, I will leave up to others
Bridgewater v. James, 2006 CanLII
38231 (ON S.C.)
[2] The defendant submitted a bill of costs on a partial indemnity basis totalling $63,540.71, comprised of a claim for fees totalling $50,531, before GST, disbursements of $6,972.54, inclusive of GST, and an amount of $2,500 on account of the cost submissions. However, total legal fees actually billed to the defendant totalled only $47,611.73. Accordingly, the defendant seeks costs on a partial indemnity basis that exceed the amount that represents total indemnification. This result is achieved by increasing the rates used in the calculation of the bill of costs to the maximum permissible rates under the grid.
Debora v. Debora, 2005 CanLII 7671
(ON S.C.)
[2] The wife seeks costs on a full recovery basis in the amount of $2,680,626 (which credits the husband with costs orders paid during the course of the action, including $150,000 ordered during the trial.)
Conclusion on costs
[48] I have also considered the factors in both Subrule 24 (11) of the Family Law Rules and Rule 57 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, R.R.O. 1990, Reg.194. Taking into consideration the factors which should reduce the costs as claimed, a fair and reasonable fee in all of the circumstances on a full recovery or substantial indemnity basis, inclusive of disbursements and a premium of $150,000, is $2.25 million plus GST.
Baker v. Wynter, 2006 CanLII 29657
(ON S.C.)
[4] Given that the amount in issue in this proceeding was $20,000.00, the costs sought, even adjusted to a partial indemnity scale, are beyond what an unsuccessful party could reasonably expect to pay in relation to the proceeding.
Gill v. Knack, 2007 CanLII 1332 (ON
S.C.)
[1] Both the applicant and the respondent claim entitlement to costs in this matter. The only issue actually argued before the court, other than costs, was the issue of where the child would spend Christmas Eve. This was determined by the court by having the child spend alternating Christmas Eves with each parent, beginning in 2006 with Mr. Knack.
Notwithstanding the confusion over the overpayment of child support and the attitude taken by the parties, the court can only point out that the $10,000.00 approximately in costs sought by both parties in total could have been used much more properly to the benefit of their child.
Hart v. Hart, 2003 CanLII 2130 (ON
S.C.)
[19] I have been asked, by each party, to make a costs award against the other, in the magnitude of thousands and thousands of dollars (wife seeking $43,080.00 – husband seeking award based on expenditure of 214.4 hours, and $1,183.24 in disbursements). The trial hearing, and my reasons, demonstrate convincingly that both litigants are of extremely modest means and have no ability to pay, or to gather together, anything approaching the amount requested to satisfy a costs award.
[20] Any such award, in the amount requested, would be a paper award only – or would lead the parties to a second bankruptcy. More importantly, a costs award of such a magnitude would seriously affect both parent’s ability to provide an appropriate upbringing for Benjamin, having regard to his present needs, and to his future educational costs.
L.J.J.C. v. V.S.C., 2006 CanLII
21777 (ON S.C.)
[2] On February 14 the parties appeared before me and made submissions as to costs. Mr. L.J.J.C. has provided me with a cost outline claiming the total amount of $50,501.54.
[3] At various stages throughout this long and bitter proceeding, both parties, or at times one of them, was represented by counsel. At the time of trial Mr. L.J.J.C. appeared unrepresented as did Mrs. V.S.C..
[4] Notwithstanding the overall result, Mrs. V.S.C. has also filed a cost outline seeking costs of $91,331.13.
S.(C.) v. S.(M.), 2007 CanLII 20279
(ON S.C.)
Ban on all access to child order is most extreme remedy available in private family law — Accordingly, extreme efforts to get or to oppose such banning order are reasonable, so long as they are made in good faith
Under guise of forging closer ties with children, his campaign against mother, both through and with children, to alienate them from her constituted form of emotional harm to children and to her and caused her emotional distress, because his intent was to cause harm to existing bond between children and mother — Many and repeated instances of his bad faith resulted in vastly prolonged and more expensive court case and vastly increased emotional damage — Mother was therefore entitled to full recovery of her costs throughout
[40] Accordingly, for the reasons set out above, my order is that the mother have her costs on a full recovery basis as asked, including the specification of support related costs to be enforced by FRO, in the total amount (including disbursements and GST) of $320,198.85, payable immediately.
Davis v. Davis, 2004 CanLII 32470
(ON S.C.)
There is no doubt that the respondent contributed greatly to the increased costs in this matter. His conduct is referred to in my judgment. Nevertheless, the amount of $61,718.30 appears somewhat excessive even on substantial indemnity scale
F.(J.) v. C.(V.) (No. 7), 2002
CanLII 46717 (ON S.C.)
Matters came to a boil in Christmas 1999 when the Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton advised the respondent not to allow unsupervised access to the applicant.
31 The applicant shall pay to the respondent child support in the sum of “Guideline” per month commencing April 20, 2000 based upon his annual income of $20,500 per year
[53] Having regard to all of the above and given the limited assets and income of the applicant as set out in his financial statement, net costs against the applicant in favour of the respondent should be awarded in the sum of $90,000 plus G.S.T.
N.(D.) v. E.(T.), 2000 CanLII 21156
(ON S.C.)
[7] As for financial impact, it is clear that neither parent can readily afford the costs of this trial, even taking Mr. Neill’s income into account.
Platonova v. Platonov, 2005 CanLII
2951 (ON S.C.)
[9] It is equally clear that the Respondent is intransigent.
[14] Accordingly, there shall be an Order that the Respondent pay to the Petitioner, within 30 days, the sum of $2,050.80 for costs
Sait v. Thorne, 2006 CanLII 44280
(ON S.C.)
[2] Mr. Thorne has filed for bankruptcy and is seeking an early discharge.
[6] Ms. Sait has been awarded more than $200,000 in costs. The bulk of these costs arise from the arbitral award of Malcolm Kronby, which award was incorporated into an order by Justice Kitely. Subsequent cost awards stem from the arbitral award. Ms. Sait submits that since at least one-half of the time spent at arbitration dealt with support, one-half of the costs, or $118,405.54, is attributable to support and therefore survives the bankruptcy.
Pasichnyk v. Pasichnyk, 2005 CanLII
46745 (ON S.C.)
[3] The matter was set for Octobe
