Bulleen and Bulleen

In *Bulleen and Bulleen*, heard before Cronin J, the husband and wife were parties to proceedings concerning costs. The wife sought an order for costs thrown away, while the husband’s application in the case was dismissed.

The central legal issue before the court was the appropriate disposition of costs, specifically whether the wife was entitled to recover costs thrown away due to the husband's actions or omissions, and the overall outcome of the husband's application.

Cronin J ordered that the husband pay the wife’s costs of $3000 thrown away within one month. The court further ordered that the husband’s application in the case be otherwise dismissed.
