Canadian Western Bank v. Webb Brothers Contracting Ltd.
In April 2023, a court heard an uncontested application for various forms of relief in an order nisi hearing. The court granted most of the relief requested, including setting a redemption amount for two loans, allowing a six-month redemption period, and granting personal judgment against Webb Brothers Contracting Ltd. and Dale Webb. The petitioner requested costs on a "solicitor and own client basis" as per the mortgage terms, or on another appropriate basis. The court requested written submissions on costs, which were received in May 2023. After considering the relevant factors, the court decided to award the petitioner party and party costs of the proceeding at Scale B. The petitioner can seek a higher scale of costs for any future proceedings related to this matter.
