Pickering and Pickering (No 4)

In *Pickering and Pickering (No 4)*, Dawe J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning costs. The dispute involved the husband and wife, though the precise nature of the underlying substantive dispute is not detailed in the provided text.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of the quantum and payment terms for the wife's costs.

Dawe J ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs, fixing the total sum at $2,000. These costs were to be paid in two instalments: $1,000 within three months of the order date, and the remaining $1,000 within six months of the order date.
