Roads and Traffic Authority v Jacques [No 2]

The case of *Roads and Traffic Authority v Jacques [No 2]* concerned an appeal before the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The dispute arose from a prior decision regarding costs, and the appeal sought to review the orders made in relation to those costs.

The primary legal issue before the Court was the appropriate allocation of costs for the appeal, specifically whether the respondent should be ordered to pay a portion of the appellant's costs. This involved considering the overall conduct of the parties and the merits of the appeal in determining a just and equitable costs order.

The Court ordered that the respondent pay 50 per cent of the appellant's costs of the appeal. Additionally, the respondent was to have a certificate under the *Suitors Fund Act 1951*, provided they qualified for such a certificate.
