The following excerpt is from Moreira v. Garcia, 2012 ONCJ 312 (CanLII):
[42] In Taber v. Taber, [2010] O.J. No. 4159, a case where the husband was totally successful after trial, the court was persuaded to reduce the amount of costs to be paid by the wife to the husband based on the inequity suffered by the wife as a result of the ruling against “double dipping,” after the division of husband’s pension and after the wife’s resulting difficult financial situation.
