Grefeld and Grefeld and Anor

In *Grefeld and Grefeld and Anor*, Barry J of the Supreme Court of Victoria was required to determine the appropriate orders for costs following proceedings involving the Applicant, the First Respondent, and the Second Respondent. The specific nature of the underlying dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but the orders relate to the apportionment of costs between the parties.

The central legal issue before the Court was how to allocate the costs incurred by the Second Respondent, and on what basis those costs should be paid by the Applicant and the First Respondent. This involved considering whether costs should be awarded on an indemnity basis or a party and party basis, and how to divide the liability for specific disbursements.

Barry J ordered that the Applicant and the First Respondent be jointly and severally liable for the costs of the Second Respondent, subject to specific limitations. The First Respondent was ordered to pay the Second Respondent's costs on an indemnity basis, specifically including a one-third share of an updated joint valuation ($513.33) and $1,000 for the translation of Country A documents. The Applicant was ordered to pay the Second Respondent's costs on a party and party basis, also including the same sums for the updated joint valuation and the translation of Country A documents.
