Bunson and Abbey

The matter of *Bunson and Abbey* concerned an application by the mother, which was ultimately dismissed by Cleary J. The proceedings involved the father's application for costs, to which the mother was required to file a response by a specified date, followed by the father's reply.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of the father's application for costs. This required the court to consider the circumstances surrounding the mother's dismissed application and whether an order for costs against her was warranted.

Cleary J dismissed the mother's application. The court then made orders regarding the filing of submissions and evidence in relation to the father's application for costs, setting deadlines for both parties to present their respective materials.
