Li v KC Dental Pty Ltd and Ors (No.3)

The applicant, Li, sought costs in relation to an application for costs made by the respondents, KC Dental Pty Ltd and others. The matter was heard in the Federal Court of Australia before Judge A Kelly.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether it possessed the power to award costs in relation to the respondents' application for costs, which itself was an application for costs.

Judge Kelly determined that the Court's power to award costs was not engaged in this specific instance. The application for costs by the respondents was therefore refused.
