Anderson and Walton

In *Anderson and Walton*, heard before McClelland J of the Family Court of Australia, the husband was ordered to provide security for costs. The dispute concerned the quantum of security required from the husband in proceedings before the Court.

The central legal issue before the Court was the appropriate amount of security for costs to be ordered against the husband.

McClelland J determined that the husband should pay $47,000 to the Collector of Public Monies in the Registry of the Family Court of Australia at Sydney as security for costs. This amount was to be paid within twenty-eight days of the date of the orders.
