Owens and Benson

The case of *Owens and Benson* concerned an application by Mr Benson, the applicant, seeking an extension of time to serve an itemised costs account on Ms Owens, the respondent. The application was heard by McClelland J.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to grant an extension of time for Mr Benson to serve his itemised costs account, which was sought pursuant to an order of the Full Court made on 22 December 2014.

McClelland J considered the application and, in his reasons, extended the time for Mr Benson to serve the costs account on Ms Owens until close of business on 11 November 2016. The application itself was dismissed.
