Alanen v Elliott, 2019 ABCA 2902019

Counsel of Record: Marcus M. Sixta

Case Summary: Marcus Sixta successfully defended the respondent wife in this case where the husband sought to overturn an interim costs award made in arbitration. The court declined to set aside the award, affirming that the husband had failed to provide sufficient evidence for an appeal. The court also noted that the issue was one of costs and would not impact the ongoing litigation, dismissing the applicant's case and leaving the interim costs award in favor of the respondent intact.
