Lorking and Lorking (Costs)

In *Lorking and Lorking (Costs)*, Justice Fowler of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for costs made by the wife. The specific dispute concerned the wife's application for costs filed on 11 June 2008.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the wife should be awarded costs in relation to her application. The court was required to determine the appropriate cost orders to be made in light of the circumstances of the application.

Justice Fowler dismissed the wife's application for costs, stating that she would not be granted the orders sought. Furthermore, the court made no order as to the costs of the present application, meaning each party would bear their own costs for this specific hearing.
