Hodges and Hodges (No 3)

In *Hodges and Hodges (No 3)*, Strickland J considered applications by both the husband and wife concerning financial matters and costs. The primary dispute revolved around a substantial sum of money due to be paid to the husband, and the wife sought orders to protect a portion of these funds.

The court was required to determine whether to grant an injunction restraining the husband from dealing with a specific portion of the funds he was to receive. Additionally, the court had to consider the applications for costs made by each party and determine the appropriate procedural steps for their resolution.

Strickland J ordered that upon receipt of $1,078,237.00, the husband was to immediately deposit $250,000.00 into an interest-bearing account in his name. The husband was restrained by injunction from withdrawing this sum until further order. The husband was also directed to provide the wife's solicitors with the details of this account. The court further ordered that affidavits in support of costs applications were to be filed and served by a specified date, with the costs applications to be listed for hearing on a subsequent date. Finally, certain paragraphs of the wife's application and the husband's response were dismissed and removed from the active pending cases list.
