Lawson and Crawford and Ors

In *Lawson and Crawford and Ors*, the wife sought costs related to an application filed on 1 September 2014. The matter came before Macmillan J.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the wife's application for costs should be determined at that stage or reserved for the final trial.

Macmillan J determined that the costs application should be reserved. This indicates that the court considered the appropriate time to assess and order costs was not at this interlocutory stage, but rather after the substantive issues of the case had been fully litigated and determined.

The court ordered that the wife's application for costs of and incidental to her Application in a Case filed 1 September 2014 be reserved to the trial.
