BLAKE& BLAKE (No2)

In the matter of *Blake & Blake (No 2)*, Judge Scarlett of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning costs. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, identified as "Husband" and "Wife," is not detailed in the provided text, but the application before the court pertained to the allocation of legal expenses.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of the quantum and payment terms for the Wife's costs associated with the application. The court was required to decide whether to award costs to the Wife and, if so, in what amount and by what date those costs should be paid by the Husband.

Judge Scarlett ordered that the Husband pay the Wife's costs of the application, fixing the total amount at $6,000.00. This sum was to be paid by the Husband within a period of six months from the date of the order.
