Anison and Anison (No. 3)

In *Anison and Anison (No. 3)*, Hogan J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications filed on 1 December 2015 and 26 March 2018. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the proceedings concerned applications brought by one party against the other.

The central legal issues before the court revolved around the dismissal of these applications and the consequential orders for costs. The court was required to determine whether the applications should be dismissed and, if so, how the costs of the proceedings should be allocated between the parties.

Hogan J ordered the dismissal of both the application filed on 1 December 2015 and the amended application filed on 26 March 2018. The court further made specific orders regarding costs. The Respondent was ordered to pay the Applicant’s costs incurred after 6 November 2015 on a party/party basis, with the amount to be agreed or assessed. Additionally, the Respondent was ordered to pay the Applicant’s costs related to an application filed on 4 December 2013, excluding costs associated with obtaining records from the Department of Human Resources, also on a party/party basis. Save for these specific cost orders, there was no further order as to costs.
