CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Mohr and Sanders (No. 2)*, the Independent Children's Lawyer (ICL) sought costs against both the parties to the proceedings. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between Mohr and Sanders is not detailed in the provided text, nor is the court in which the proceedings were heard, beyond the presiding judge being Watts J.
The central legal issue before Watts J was whether the ICL was entitled to an order for costs against the parties involved in the litigation. This required the court to consider the circumstances under which an ICL might be awarded costs against the parties, and whether those circumstances were met in this instance.
Watts J dismissed the ICL's application for costs. While the reasoning behind this decision is not elaborated upon in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the court found no grounds to order the parties to pay the ICL's costs. The final orders were subject to formal entry in the Court's records.
