Casey and Casey (No 2)

In *Casey and Casey (No 2)*, Ryan J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for costs made by the husband following the wife's application in a family law matter.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the husband should be awarded the costs of the wife's application.

Ryan J dismissed the husband's application for costs. The court granted the husband leave to make an oral application for costs concerning the wife's application, but ultimately determined that such an application should not succeed.
