Moneta and Kimpton and Anor

In *Moneta and Kimpton and Anor*, heard before Judge Altobelli, the dispute concerned the division of property between a husband and wife. The wife sought orders for the husband to pay a portion of her legal costs incurred during the proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband should be ordered to pay the wife's costs, and if so, to what extent. This required the court to consider the conduct of the parties during the litigation and the overall merits of the case in determining the appropriate cost orders.

Judge Altobelli ordered that the husband was to pay two-thirds of the wife's costs of the proceedings up to and including the date of the orders. This outcome suggests the court found that the husband bore a significant responsibility for the costs incurred, likely due to his conduct or the progression of the case.
