Boele v Norsemeter

Boele (appellant) appealed against a decision of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The dispute concerned the costs of an application for leave to appeal and the appeal itself.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was the appropriate order for costs, specifically whether the respondent should be ordered to pay the appellant's costs and whether a certificate under the Suitors Fund Act should be granted.

The Court of Appeal ordered that the respondent pay the appellant's costs of both the application for leave to appeal and the appeal. Furthermore, the Court ordered that the respondent have a certificate under the Suitors Fund Act, provided they qualified for such a certificate.
