Read full decision. Automatically generated summary:
This appeal is the companion to Leuthold v. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 2014 FCA 173, in which this Court dismissed Ms. Leuthold’s appeal from the decision of the Federal Court ordering the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (the CBC) to pay her approximately US $20,000 as damages for infringement of her copyright in certain images. Notwithstanding the fact that she was the successful plaintiff, Ms. Leuthold was ordered to pay the CBC double costs because she recovered less than the amount of CBC’s Rule 420 offer to settle. These reasons deal with Ms. Leuthold’s appeal from the costs order. For the reasons that follow, I would dismiss the appeal with costs.
Decision relates to:
- A-543-12 - CATHERINE LEUTHOLD v.J CBC, ET AL. which is an appeal from 2012 FC 1257 in T-299-05
