Pencious & Pencious (No 2)

In *Pencious & Pencious (No 2)*, the applicant sought to have the respondent's costs assessed in accordance with orders previously made by the court on 5 April 2012. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the matter came before Cronin J for a ruling on the assessment of costs.

The central legal issue before Cronin J was the proper basis upon which the respondent's costs should be assessed, pursuant to the existing court orders. This required the court to interpret and apply the terms of the 5 April 2012 orders in the context of the subsequent assessment process.

Cronin J's reasoning focused on the application of the principles governing cost assessments as dictated by the prior orders. The court's ruling clarified the method and criteria to be employed by the Registrar in undertaking the assessment, ensuring that the costs awarded reflected the terms previously stipulated by the court. The Registrar was directed to proceed with the assessment in accordance with this ruling.
