CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Gorman and Huffman (No 2)*, Foster J of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia considered an application by the mother, Ms Gorman, for a review of a Registrar's determination. The father, Mr Huffman, was the respondent. The specific nature of the dispute leading to the Registrar's determination is not detailed in the provided text, but the application before Foster J concerned the costs associated with Ms Gorman's review application.

The central legal issue before Foster J was the appropriate order for costs following Ms Gorman's unsuccessful application for a review of the Registrar's determination. The court was required to determine whether costs should be awarded to the father and, if so, in what amount.

Foster J ordered that the mother, Ms Gorman, pay the father's costs of and incidental to her application for review of the Registrar's determination. These costs were quantified at $6,250.00 and were to be paid within three months from the date of the order.
