FRISWELL & CHILD SUPPORT REGISTRAR (No.2)

In *FRISWELL & CHILD SUPPORT REGISTRAR (No.2)*, Judge Scarlett of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application by the Applicant to terminate an agreement. The Respondent was the Child Support Registrar.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the Applicant had established grounds for the termination of the agreement. A secondary issue concerned the costs of the proceedings, particularly in light of the substantive application being summarily dismissed.

Judge Scarlett dismissed the Applicant's application to terminate the agreement. The Court found no basis upon which to grant the relief sought by the Applicant. Consequently, the Court ordered that the Applicant pay the costs of the Respondent Child Support Registrar.

The Applicant was ordered to pay the costs of the Respondent Child Support Registrar in the fixed sum of $5,251.50, with three months allowed for payment.
