Munayallan & Ors and I Pty Ltd & Anor

The proceeding before Berman J concerned a dispute involving Ms Munayallan (the wife), Mr Phong and Ms Phong (the respondents), and I Pty Ltd and Mr Scott (the applicants). The precise nature of the underlying dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome relates to the allocation of costs.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of liability for the costs incurred by the respondents in the proceeding. Specifically, the court was required to decide which parties were responsible for these costs and on what basis those costs should be assessed.

Berman J ordered that I Pty Ltd and Mr Scott be jointly and severally liable for the costs of Ms Munayallan and Mr and Ms Phong. The order stipulated a specific sum of $4,800 to be paid to the wife by a set date, and further directed that the costs of Mr and Ms Phong, to be agreed or taxed on an indemnity basis, were to be paid within sixty days of taxation determination.
