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 - 1988 Construction Program Review, announced in CRTC Telecom Public Notice 1988-8. Costs were acquiesced to by counsel for Bell at the close of the Construction Program Review hearing. Costs were awarded to CAC by Telecom Costs Order CRTC 88-8, dated 21 July 1988, in accordance with subsection 44(1) of the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure.
|
|
CAC submitted a Bill of Costs in the amount of $2,592.30, consisting of analyst fees of $1,900.00 and disbursements of $692.30.
|
|
The taxation proceeded by way of written submissions. Bell did not object to CAC's Bill of Costs. I note that the per diem rate claimed for preparation and attendance by the financial analyst are the same as those that have been allowed for him in recent Taxation Orders
