CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Peck and Peck (No.3)*, Judge Willis of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia considered an application for costs by the Husband. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, beyond the context of a costs application, is not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the Husband was entitled to an order for costs. This required the court to assess the circumstances surrounding the proceedings and determine if an award of costs was warranted in favour of the Husband.

Judge Willis dismissed the Husband's application for costs. The court also ordered that all outstanding applications be removed from the pending cases list, effectively bringing an end to the matters before the court.
