METFORD & FADDIN (No.3)

In the Family Court of Australia, Judge Cassidy considered an application concerning costs between the applicant father and the respondent mother. The specific nature of the underlying dispute that led to this costs application is not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of costs in relation to the family law proceedings. This involved assessing the circumstances to decide whether an order for costs should be made and, if so, the quantum of those costs.

Judge Cassidy ordered that the applicant father pay the respondent mother's costs. These costs were fixed at the sum of $6,000 and were to be paid on or before 31 January 2019.
