Barron and Zebic (No.2)

In *Barron and Zebic (No.2)*, Judge Scarlett of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia was required to determine the quantum of costs to be paid by the Mother to the Father following substantive parenting proceedings and an earlier application. The dispute concerned the final allocation of legal costs incurred by the Father in these matters.

The primary legal issue before the Court was to fix the amount of costs payable by the Mother to the Father for both the main parenting proceedings and a specific application filed on 29 July 2015. The Court also needed to address the disposition of any other outstanding applications.

Judge Scarlett ordered that the Mother pay the Father's costs of the substantive parenting proceedings in the sum of $14,951.00. Additionally, the Mother was ordered to pay the Father's costs for the Application in a Case filed on 29 July 2015, fixed at $2,262.00. All other outstanding applications were dismissed.
