Huey and Huey (No 2)

In *Huey and Huey (No 2)*, the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning costs following a hearing on 13 May 2020. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the husband and wife is not detailed in the provided text, but the focus of the decision is on the allocation of legal costs.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of which party should bear the costs of the application heard on 13 May 2020, and the manner in which those costs should be satisfied.

Rees J ordered that the husband pay the wife’s costs of the application on a party and party basis. Crucially, the court further ordered that these costs were to be paid from, and charged against, any funds the husband was to receive from the sale of a property located at B Street, Suburb C. This directed payment mechanism ensured a specific source for the satisfaction of the awarded costs.
