Kalla and Kalla (No 2)

In *Kalla and Kalla (No 2)*, Rees J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the wife for costs related to an Application in a Case filed on 12 February 2020. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the focus of this judgment is solely on the wife's claim for costs.

The sole legal issue before the court was whether the wife's application for costs should be granted. This required the court to consider the relevant principles governing cost orders in family law proceedings, particularly in circumstances where an application has been made but the outcome of that application is not specified in the provided extract.

Rees J dismissed the wife's application for costs. While the reasoning behind this decision is not elaborated upon in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the court found no grounds to award costs to the wife in relation to the specified application.
