CaseChat Overview and Summary

The matter of *Charters and Webb and Anor* concerned an application by a maternal grandmother, filed on 12 January 2018, which was ultimately dismissed by Judge Altobelli. The specific nature of the dispute leading to this application is not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates a contest between the grandmother and the respondents, identified as Webb and Anor.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to grant the maternal grandmother's application. While the precise grounds for the application are not specified, the court's decision to dismiss it suggests that the applicant failed to satisfy the necessary legal threshold for her claim. The court was required to determine the merits of the grandmother's case against the relevant legal principles governing such applications.

The court's reasoning for dismissing the application is not elaborated upon in the provided text. However, the final orders indicate that the court considered the matter sufficiently concluded to dismiss the grandmother's application. Following this determination, the court addressed the issue of costs, ordering that any applications for costs be determined by way of written submissions, with specific timeframes and word limits set for the parties to file their respective arguments.
