Salt and Salt (No 2)

In *Salt and Salt (No 2)*, Gill J of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia considered an application for costs following parenting substantive proceedings and a separate application for a stay. The proceedings involved the Father and the Mother, though the specific nature of their dispute regarding parenting arrangements is not detailed in the provided text.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders for costs in relation to both the parenting substantive proceedings and the stay application. This involved assessing the extent to which each party should bear the costs incurred by the other, considering the outcome of these applications.

Gill J ordered that the Father pay 85 per cent of the Mother's costs for the parenting substantive proceedings on a party-party basis. Additionally, the Father was ordered to pay the Mother's costs for the stay application on a party-party basis. These costs are to be agreed upon by the parties or, failing agreement, assessed by the court.
