Civil Litigation Cases - Lawyer Liability for Costs [R57.07]

. Yenovkian v. Shirtliff-Hinds Professional Corporation

In Yenovkian v. Shirtliff-Hinds Professional Corporation (Ont CA, 2026) the Ontario Court of Appeal granted an appellate motion for security for costs [under R61.06(1)(a) 'Security for Costs of Appeal'].

Here the court considered the rarely-used R57.07 ['Liability of Lawyer for Costs'] provision:
[5] ... He also seeks an order under r. 57.07 [SS: 'Liability of Lawyer for Costs'] sanctioning the conduct of Robert B. Macdonald, SHPC’s lawyer.

....

[34] Mr. Yenovkian’s request for a personal costs order against Mr. Macdonald pursuant to r. 57.07 is also dismissed. Mr. Macdonald has at all times acted as a commendable officer of the court and there is no reason to impose any order against him.
