Cabb and Cabb (No 2)

In *Cabb and Cabb (No 2)*, Rees J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for summary dismissal. The specific nature of the dispute between the parties, the husband and wife, is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that the wife was ordered to pay the husband's costs of this application.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the husband's application for summary dismissal should be granted. The court was required to determine the appropriate basis for assessing the costs associated with this application.

Rees J ordered that the wife pay the husband's costs of the application for summary dismissal filed on 5 February 2013. Crucially, these costs were to be assessed on a solicitor/client basis, indicating a higher level of indemnity than standard party/party costs. The court also certified that the matter warranted the briefing of Senior Counsel.
