Hoskings and Hoskings and Anor

The applicant, Hoskings, appealed to the court against a decision concerning property settlement. The respondents were Hoskings and another party. The precise nature of the dispute leading to the appeal is not detailed, but it concerned the division of assets following the breakdown of a relationship.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the applicant's Amended Notice of Appeal, filed on 2 March 2015, should be dismissed. This implicitly required the court to consider the validity and timeliness of the appeal, and potentially the grounds upon which it was brought.

The court dismissed the applicant's Amended Notice of Appeal. While the reasons for this dismissal are not provided in the excerpt, the outcome indicates that the appeal was unsuccessful. The court then made orders regarding the filing of submissions on costs by both the applicant and the second respondent, indicating that the question of costs would be determined following further submissions.
