Gader, 2013 ABQB 386 Date: 20130708 Docket: 4803 125704 Registry: Edmonton Between: Bernadette Desantis Applicant - and - David Wayne Gader Respondent _______________________________________________________ Endorsement of the Honourable Madam Justice J.B. Veit _______________________________________________________ [ 1 ] After reviewing the material received on this matter, including the emails of May 9 th and 15 th , I have concluded that Mr. Gader should pay Ms. DeSantis $759.87. [ 2 ] In coming to this conclusion, I have accepted Ms.

DeSantis ’ replies to Mr. Gader ’ s objections to her original calculations. [ 3 ] Because Ms. DeSantis has been substantially successful, she is entitled to costs. In this context, costs refers to the tariff set out in

Schedule C of the Rules of Court . However, neither party was represented on this application; therefore, the tariff cannot be applied. In light of the amount of work which has gone into this application, I have determined that a fair award of costs for Ms. DeSantis is $200.00. That amount will be added to Mr. Gader ’ s child support obligation.

Heard on the 29 th day of April, 2013, with further materials received the 3 rd day of May, 2013. Dated at the City of Edmonton, Alberta this 8 th day of July, 2013. J.B. Veit J.C.Q.B.A. Appearances: Ms. DeSantis on her own behalf Mr. Gader on his own behalf
