Farrow and Farrow (No 3)

In the matter of *Farrow and Farrow (No 3)*, Forrest J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application for costs following a court event on 22 June 2020. The dispute concerned the wife's liability for the husband's costs associated with that event and the costs of the current application.

The primary legal issue before the Court was to determine the quantum of costs payable by the wife to the husband. This involved assessing the costs of the court event on 22 June 2020 and the costs of the subsequent application, with the latter to be determined by agreement or, failing that, by the Family Law Rules 2004 (Cth) on a party and party basis.

Forrest J ordered that the wife pay the husband the sum of $11,035.20 for his costs of and incidental to the court event on 22 June 2020. Furthermore, the wife was ordered to pay the husband's costs of and incidental to the application, to be resolved by agreement between the parties or, if no agreement could be reached, as determined under the Family Law Rules 2004 (Cth) on a party and party basis.
