Donella and Donella

In *Donella and Donella*, heard before Johns J, the dispute concerned the costs of an application. The wife sought an order for her costs, and the husband sought to have the wife's costs application dismissed.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the wife was entitled to an order for her costs, and if so, to what extent. The court was required to consider the merits of the wife's costs application and the husband's opposition to it.

Johns J ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs fixed at $4,766 by 4.00 pm on 14 July 2014. The court otherwise dismissed the wife's costs application and removed the matter from the list of cases awaiting hearing.
