Bartlett and Gibson (No. 3)

In *Bartlett and Gibson (No. 3)*, the District Court of New South Wales was required to determine the appropriate costs orders following property settlement proceedings between the husband and wife. The dispute concerned the husband's applications and subpoenas relating to Ms Bowie and Bowie Smith Pty Ltd.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the husband should be ordered to pay the wife's costs in relation to his applications and subpoenas concerning Ms Bowie and Bowie Smith Pty Ltd, and whether any other costs orders should be made between the parties in relation to the property matters.

The court ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs of and incidental to any application made or subpoenas issued by the husband in relation to Ms Bowie or Bowie Smith Pty Ltd. However, the court made no further orders for costs as between the parties in relation to the property matters.
