FRENCH & FRENCH

In the matter of *French & French*, the applicant sought costs from the respondent. The court was required to determine the quantum of costs to be paid by the respondent to the applicant.

The central legal issue before the court was the final determination of the costs payable by the respondent. This involved assessing the appropriate sum to be awarded to the applicant for their legal expenses.

The court ordered that the respondent pay the applicant's costs fixed at $5,056.00. This sum was to be satisfied by the immediate release of $5,000.00 held in the applicant's solicitor's trust account, with the remaining $56.00 to be paid by the respondent within one month of the court's order.
