That the parties confer to determine a suitable date for a case management conference to be held within 90 days of the date of this judgment.

The parties, Ingui and Ostara, were involved in a legal dispute that was heard by the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The primary issue at hand revolved around the interpretation and application of certain provisions within Schedule 1 of the Civil Procedure Act 2005 (NSW), particularly regarding the disclosure of costs. The court was required to determine whether the respondents had adequately complied with the statutory requirements for disclosing costs as outlined in the Act. The legal issues thus centred on the scope and obligations imposed by the statutory framework on the parties involved in the litigation process.

The court meticulously examined the relevant statutory provisions and the established case law to ascertain the obligations of the respondents in disclosing their costs. It was found that the respondents had not fully complied with the statutory requirements, as they had failed to provide a comprehensive list of the costs sought within the stipulated timeframe. The court emphasised the importance of adhering to statutory mandates to ensure transparency and fairness in the litigation process. Consequently, the court ordered the respondents to furnish a list of the costs sought within 28 days of the judgment. Additionally, a case management conference was scheduled within 90 days to facilitate further discussions and to ensure the efficient progression of the proceedings.
