CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Davenport & Davenport*, the husband sought a review of an earlier decision. The wife sought an order for costs in relation to the husband's application for review.
The primary legal issue before the court was whether there were justifying circumstances to make an order for costs against the husband in favour of the wife, and if so, the quantum of those costs.
Judge Tonkin found that justifying circumstances existed to make a costs order. The court ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs associated with his application for review, fixed at $6,806.50, to be paid within twenty-eight days of the date of the orders.
