Laconi and Cosgrove

In the matter of *Laconi and Cosgrove*, heard by Judge Harper, the dispute concerned claims made by the husband and a cross-claim by the wife. The specific nature of these claims and cross-claims is not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates they were ultimately unsuccessful.

The court was required to determine whether the husband's Amended Statement of Claim and the wife's Amended Cross-Claim should be upheld or dismissed. The central legal issue was the validity and merits of the claims and counter-claims presented by each party.

Judge Harper ordered the dismissal of the husband's Amended Statement of Claim and, with one exception not specified, the dismissal of the wife's Amended Cross-Claim. The court also stipulated that any party seeking costs must make a written application within 28 days, failing which no order as to costs would be made. Any costs applications would be determined by written submissions unless oral hearings were requested.
