Bacu and Bacu (Costs No. 1)

In *Bacu and Bacu (Costs No. 1)*, Le Poer Trench J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for costs following a hearing on 1 October 2010. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the husband and wife is not detailed in the provided text, but the matter before the court concerned the allocation of legal expenses.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband should be ordered to pay the wife's costs associated with the application heard on 1 October 2010. This required the court to consider the relevant principles governing the award of costs in family law proceedings.

Le Poer Trench J ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs of the application determined on 1 October 2010, with the quantum of those costs to be agreed between the parties or, failing agreement, assessed by the court.
