Gitarra and Gitarra and Ors

In *Gitarra and Gitarra and Ors*, the wife was ordered to contribute to the husband's costs and the costs of third parties in proceedings before Justice Cronin. The specific sums ordered were $30,000 towards the husband's costs and $30,000 towards the third parties' costs.

The central legal issue before the court was the quantum and source of the wife's contribution to the costs incurred by the husband and the third parties in the proceedings.

Justice Cronin reasoned that the wife's contribution towards costs should be paid from her share of the proceeds of the sale of a property identified as "T property". This direction was made in accordance with the orders previously made on 8 May 2009. The court's final orders stipulated that the wife was to pay a total of $60,000 in costs, $30,000 to the husband and $30,000 to the third parties, with these payments to be satisfied from her portion of the sale proceeds of the T property.
