Preiss & Preiss (No 4)

In *Preiss & Preiss (No 4)*, Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications by the husband and wife concerning costs and the dismissal of their respective written submissions.

The central legal issue before the court was the appropriate orders to be made regarding the costs of an application for summary dismissal, and the dismissal of further written submissions filed by the parties.

Cronin J ordered that the husband pay the wife’s costs associated with the application for summary dismissal from 5 October 2018, by agreement or assessment. The court further ordered that the respective applications by way of written submission filed on 30 November and 7 December 2018 be dismissed.
