Issa and Jabr

In *Issa and Jabr*, Berman J of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia was required to determine an application for costs. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the orders indicate a financial component to the resolution, specifically concerning the wife's costs.

The primary legal issue before the court was the quantum and disposition of the wife's costs. The court had to consider whether to grant the wife's application for costs and, if so, in what amount and under what terms.

Berman J ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs fixed at $33,998, with payment due within 28 days. The order further stipulated that interest would accrue on any outstanding amount from the date of default until payment, in accordance with the Family Law Rules. The application for costs was otherwise dismissed, suggesting that this specific order represented the entirety of the costs awarded.
