This paper explores the law of costs in Alberta through the dual lenses of Schedule C of the Alberta Rules of Court and the post-McCallister case law. Topics covered include a discussion of costs generally, settlement using court process, treble costs for unproven fraud, the inflationary factor, multiples of tariff amounts, lump sum costs, percentage indemnity, and tips for litigators.

These materials are part of a collection presented at LESA’s Costs program in Edmonton on May 6, 2025.
