Gissing and Sheffield (No 2)

In *Gissing and Sheffield (No 2)*, the applicant sought costs from the respondent following interim proceedings that concluded with orders made by agreement on 23 January 2015. The proceedings concerned a dispute between the parties, the precise nature of which is not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before Cronin J was the determination of who should bear the costs of the interim proceedings. This involved considering whether the circumstances warranted an order for the respondent to pay the applicant's costs, either by agreement or, failing agreement, as assessed by the court.

Cronin J ordered that the respondent pay the applicant's costs of the interim proceedings. This order was to be effective as agreed between the parties, and in the absence of such agreement, the costs were to be assessed.
