Campbell and Schmidt (No.2)

In *Campbell and Schmidt (No.2)*, the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an oral application for costs made by the Respondent. The Applicant also made an oral application concerning the costs of the Respondent's costs application.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the Respondent's oral application for costs. A secondary issue was the appropriate course of action regarding the costs of the Respondent's costs application, including the scheduling of a final hearing for this purpose.

Judge Small dismissed the Respondent's oral application for costs. The Court then ordered that the matter be adjourned to the Federal Circuit Court of Australia on 26 May 2016 for a final hearing on the issue of costs for the Respondent's costs application. The Court also stipulated that any applicable fees, unless waived, were to be paid by the responsible party in accordance with the Family Law (Fees) Regulation 2012.
