Taxation Order

Ottawa, 31 August 1987
Taxation Order CRTC 1987-5
In re: Bell Canada, 1987 Construction Program Review, CRTC Telecom Public Notice 1987-3
D. McKendry, for Consumers' Association of Canada (CAC)
E.E. Saunders, Q.C., for Bell Canada (Bell)
TAXATION OF COSTS OF CAC
Taxing officer: Allan Rosenzveig
This order constitutes the taxation of costs awarded to CAC in the case of Bell Canada - 1987 Construction Program Review, announced in CRTC Telecom Public Notice 1987-3. Costs were acquiesced to by counsel for Bell at the close of the construction program review hearing as evidenced by page 242 of the transcript.
CAC submitted a Bill of Costs in the amount of $3,825.47, consisting of $1,080.00 of fees for counsel, $2,145.00 of fees for the financial analyst and disbursements of $600.47.
The taxation proceeded by way of written submissions. I note that in its comments Bell did not object to the amounts claimed by CAC for fees or disbursements. I also note that the per diem rates claimed are the same those allowed in Taxation Order 1985-3, dated 16 September 1985, and that the aggregate preparation time claimed by CAC does not exceed the relationship showed in Taxation Order 1984-2 of two days preparation per day of hearing.

Fees
