AID18 v Minister for Immigration & Anor (No.2)

The applicant, AID18, sought an adjournment of proceedings against the Minister for Immigration and another respondent before Young J of the Federal Court of Australia. The dispute concerned the costs associated with these adjournments.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the applicant should be ordered to pay the costs incurred by the first respondent due to the multiple adjournments of the matter.

Young J ordered that the applicant pay the costs of the first respondent. These costs are to be taxed in accordance with Part 40 of the *Federal Court Rules 2011* if the parties cannot reach an agreement on the amount.
