POISAT & POISAT

The Full Court of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the wife for costs filed on 10 December 2012. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, Mr. and Mrs. Poisat, is not detailed in the provided extract, but the application for costs indicates a dispute that has reached a stage where the court is being asked to make orders regarding the expenses incurred by one of the parties.

The sole legal issue before the Full Court was whether to grant the wife's application for costs. This required the court to consider the relevant principles governing the award of costs in family law proceedings, which generally involve a discretionary assessment based on the conduct of the parties and the overall justice of the case.

The Full Court dismissed the wife's application for costs. While the reasons for this dismissal are not elaborated upon in the provided text, the outcome signifies that the court, in exercising its discretion, determined that an order for costs in favour of the wife was not warranted in the circumstances.
