Meanwhile, on December 10, the Divisional Court issued its Decision on the demand for cost awards.  Finding that the Greenspace Alliance is not a public interest litigant, it agreed with the City’s but reduced the award to the developers to $25,000 “in recognition of the [Alliance’s] limited means.”  The Alliance is seeking leave to appeal this cost award decision to the Ontario Court of Appeal.
