Fowler and Liddle

In the matter of *Fowler and Liddle*, Collier J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application filed by the husband on 14 June 2011. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the orders indicate it concerned property proceedings between the husband and wife.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the husband's application filed on 14 June 2011. The Court was required to determine the merits of this application in the context of ongoing property proceedings between the parties.

Collier J dismissed the husband's application. The Court ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs of the proceedings in the sum of $3,750.00, with this payment to be made within fourteen days of the completion of the property proceedings, whether by settlement or court order.
