Hamer and Hamer

In *Hamer and Hamer*, heard before Cronin J, the dispute concerned an application by the husband and a response thereto, which were ultimately dismissed. The specific nature of the underlying dispute leading to these applications is not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that it resulted in orders for payment and costs.

The court was required to determine the disposition of the husband's application filed on 5 September 2011 and the wife's response filed on 31 October 2011. Additionally, the court had to consider the appropriate orders regarding financial payment between the parties and the allocation of legal costs.

Cronin J ordered that the wife pay the husband the sum of $20,000 forthwith and that the wife pay the husband's costs of the proceedings, to be agreed or assessed. The court further certified that it was reasonable to brief counsel. The husband's application and the wife's response were otherwise dismissed.
