GALBADON & GALBADON

The appeal involved a couple, the applicants, who were seeking an extension of time to file an application for costs in relation to a previous appeal. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of Queensland. The applicants argued that the extension was necessary due to delays caused by the respondent's legal team. The legal issues before the court were whether the applicants had a sufficient basis for their request for an extension of time, and whether the respondent should be ordered to pay the costs of the appeal.

The court considered the applicants' reasons for the delay and the impact of the delay on the proceedings. The court noted that the applicants had not acted with the necessary diligence, but also recognised that the delay was not entirely due to their actions. The court found that the applicants had a reasonable basis for their request for an extension of time and that the respondent's conduct had contributed to the delay. The court ordered that the applicants be given an extension of time to file an application for costs in the appeal, and that the respondent pay the applicants' costs of and in relation to the appeal in the amount of $800 within one month.
