Jason Beitchman argued that his client was entitled to costs following the finding of an Arbtrator with the SDRCC that the investigation and dismissal of his client was biased and lacking procedural fairness. The SDRCC, which only awards costs in “exceptional circumstances”, agreed that this as an exceptional case and the circumstances and conduct of Athletics Canada warranted a substantial award of costs. The Arbitrator awarded over $40,000 in costs to Mr. Beitchman’s client.
