POWELL & BIGGS

The parties involved were the father and the mother, with the dispute concerning applications filed on 17 February 2015 and 30 April 2015. The decision was made by Macmillan J.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of costs following the mother's application and the father's response. The court was required to decide whether to order the father to pay the mother's costs and, if so, in what amount.

Macmillan J ordered that the father pay the mother's costs of and incidental to her application filed on 17 February 2015, fixing the sum at $10,953, payable to Barbayannis Lawyers by 4.00pm on 5 August 2015. The court further ordered that the mother's application filed on 17 February 2015 and the father's response filed on 30 April 2015 be otherwise dismissed.
