Gordon v Lever (No 4)

In *Gordon v Lever (No 4)*, the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales considered an application to vary a previous costs order. The applicant, Gordon, sought to have the costs order made in favour of the respondent, Lever, set aside or varied.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the costs order previously made should be altered, specifically in relation to an argument concerning the application to vary that costs order. The Court was required to determine the appropriate disposition of costs arising from this subsequent application.

The Court dismissed the Notice of Motion. The reasoning for this dismissal, and the specific legal principles applied in relation to the costs of this particular application, were not detailed in the provided text beyond the ultimate order. The Court ordered that the applicant pay the respondent's costs of the application.
