Lenard and Rogers (No. 3)

In *Lenard and Rogers (No. 3)*, Rees J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the wife for costs in relation to an application for a stay pending appeal heard on 18 July 2012. The husband sought costs from the wife in relation to that application.

The central legal issue before the court was the quantum of costs to be awarded to the husband for the stay pending appeal application.

Rees J ordered that the wife pay the husband's costs in relation to the application for stay pending appeal heard on 18 July 2012. The total sum ordered was $2,624.46. These costs were to be paid by the wife out of the distribution of capital that was to occur pursuant to the property settlement orders previously made in the proceedings.
