Ingles and Ingles and Ors (No 2)

In *Ingles and Ingles and Ors (No 2)*, Berman J of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia was required to determine an application for costs made by Ms Howard in her capacity as Trustee of the Ingles Family Trust. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but it is clear that Ms Howard, in her role as trustee, was involved in proceedings and sought an order for costs against the wife.

The central legal issue before the court was the quantum of costs to be awarded to Ms Howard, as Trustee, against the wife. This involved assessing the reasonableness and necessity of the costs incurred by the Trustee in the proceedings and determining an appropriate sum to be paid by the wife.

Berman J ordered that the wife pay the costs of Ms Howard, in her capacity as Trustee of the Ingles Family Trust, fixed at $100,000. This sum was to be paid within fourteen days of the date of the order. The court's reasoning for this specific amount is not elaborated upon in the provided text, but the order itself signifies a determination of the costs payable.
