Kouvades & Kouvades & Anor (No 2)

In *Kouvades & Kouvades & Anor (No 2)*, the Family Court of Australia considered an application for costs made by the wife against the husband. The dispute concerned applications filed on 26 February 2016 and 10 March 2016.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband should be ordered to pay the wife's costs associated with the aforementioned applications. The court also had to determine the disposition of any application for costs by the second respondent.

Cronin J ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs of and incidental to the applications, with the quantum to be agreed between the parties or, failing agreement, as assessed. The court reserved the issue of any application for costs by the second respondent for determination by the trial judge.
