Lett & Lett (No. 2)

In *Lett & Lett (No. 2)*, Carter J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for costs made by the husband following proceedings initiated by the wife. The dispute concerned the wife's applications filed on 14 May 2007.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the wife should be ordered to pay the husband's costs of and incidental to the proceedings commenced by her applications. The court was required to determine the appropriate order regarding the costs of these specific applications.

Carter J ordered that the wife pay the husband's costs of and incidental to the proceedings commenced by his applications filed on 14 May 2007. In the event that the parties could not agree on the quantum of these costs by 10 September 2007, the costs were to be assessed pursuant to Chapter 19 of the *Family Law Rules 2004*.
