EDWARDS & EDWARDS

In *Edwards & Edwards*, the wife was ordered to pay the husband's costs associated with proceedings commenced by the wife's application filed on 30 July 2008, as well as costs for a subsequent application for costs. The dispute concerned the quantum of these costs.

The central legal issue before Watts J was the method by which the wife should satisfy her obligation to pay the husband's costs. Specifically, the court was required to determine an appropriate payment schedule for the total costs awarded.

Watts J ordered that the wife pay the husband's costs by way of 156 weekly payments of $50, resulting in a total payment of $7,800. This order established a structured repayment plan for the costs awarded to the husband.
