Louis and Boch and Ors (No. 3)

In *Louis and Boch and Ors (No. 3)*, Burr J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for costs following proceedings between the husband, the wife, and the paternal grandparents. The specific nature of the underlying dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but the orders relate to the allocation of the wife's costs.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of an appropriate costs order against the husband and the paternal grandparents in favour of the wife. This involved assessing the extent to which each party should bear responsibility for the wife's legal expenses incurred in the proceedings.

Burr J ordered that the husband pay 50% of the wife's costs for the proceedings. Additionally, the paternal grandparents were each ordered to pay 5% of the wife's costs. These costs are to be paid either by agreement within 60 days of the order date or, failing agreement, as taxed by the court.
