Rudman and Rudman (Costs)

In the matter of *Rudman and Rudman (Costs)*, his Honour Judge Faulks DCJ of the District Court of New South Wales considered an application for costs following proceedings concerning children. The dispute involved Mr Rudman and Ms Rudman, with the court tasked with determining the appropriate allocation of costs.

The primary legal issue before the court was the quantum and method of payment of costs awarded to Ms Rudman in relation to the children's proceedings. The court also had to consider the disposition of other applications made by Mr Rudman and the overall conclusion of the proceedings.

His Honour ordered that Mr Rudman pay $12,000.00 to Ms Rudman for costs. This payment was to be satisfied by an offset of $7,500.00 that Ms Rudman owed Mr Rudman, with the remaining $4,500.00 to be paid within three months of the court's order. All other applications made by Mr Rudman were dismissed, and the matter was removed from the court's pending cases list, signifying the conclusion of the proceedings.
