This week on Hull on Estates, Natalia Angelini and Sofie Hector discuss Hernandez v. Hernandez, 2026 ONSC 1136, where the Ontario Superior Court of Justice awarded costs against a party who was successful on the legal issue before the Court, emphasizing that relative success does not shield a litigant from adverse cost consequences where their conduct undermines proportionality and the efficient administration of an Estate.
