Pitcher and Anor and Browney

In the matter of *Pitcher and Anor v Browney*, the Supreme Court of Queensland was asked to determine a dispute between the parties concerning an application for costs.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the applicants, Pitcher and Anor, should be ordered to pay the respondent's costs, or if each party should bear their own costs. This question arose in circumstances where the applicants had filed a costs application on 25 August 2008.

Justice Ryan ordered that each party was to pay their own costs, and further dismissed the costs application filed by the applicants on 25 August 2008.
