Black and Milton

In *Black and Milton*, heard before Macmillan J, the dispute concerned the wife's Initiating Application filed on 9 June 2015. The specific nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the outcome indicates it was a claim brought by the wife against the husband.

The court was required to determine whether the wife's Initiating Application should be dismissed and to make orders regarding the costs associated with that application.

Macmillan J ordered that the wife pay the husband's costs of the Initiating Application, fixed at $3,500. These costs were to be deducted from a sum of $50,000 that the husband was to pay to the wife, as per earlier orders made on 22 August 1996. The wife's Initiating Application was otherwise dismissed and removed from the list of cases awaiting hearing.
