Bashir & Ghani (No 3)

In the matter of *Bashir & Ghani (No 3)*, heard before Obradovic J, the applicant mother and respondent father were parties to proceedings concerning costs. The dispute revolved around the quantum of costs to be paid by the applicant to the respondent.

The central legal issue before the court was to determine the final amount of costs payable by the applicant mother to the respondent father. This determination was made in light of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), specifically referencing the prohibition on publishing proceedings that identify individuals involved in family law matters, suggesting that the proceedings themselves may have touched upon sensitive or identifying information.

The court ordered that the applicant mother pay the respondent father's costs in the sum of $23,284.90. This payment was to be made within a period of six months from the date of the order.
