Allan and Allan (No. 2)

In *Allan and Allan (No. 2)*, the Honourable Justice Rose of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for review filed by the husband on 26 September 2008. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the proceedings concerned the husband's application for review.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of costs associated with the husband's application for review. Specifically, the court was required to decide whether the husband should be ordered to pay any portion of the wife's costs in relation to that application.

Justice Rose reasoned that the husband should bear responsibility for half of the wife's costs. This decision was made in relation to the wife's costs of and incidental to the husband's application for review. The court further certified that the wife was entitled to brief senior counsel for the purposes of the potential taxation of these costs.
