Shirley and Moore

In the matter of Shirley and Moore, Hogan J of the Federal Court of Australia considered an application concerning costs. The specific nature of the dispute that led to the initiating application filed on 7 August 2019 is not detailed in the provided text, but the proceedings culminated in an order regarding the payment of costs by the respondent to the applicant.

The central legal issue before Hogan J was the determination of the quantum and payment terms for the costs associated with the initiating application. The court was required to fix a specific monetary amount for these costs and establish a deadline for their payment.

Hogan J ordered that the respondent pay the applicant's costs of and incidental to the initiating application. These costs were fixed at $3,500.00 and were to be paid by 8 December 2020. The court noted that the final form of this order was contingent upon its entry into the Court's records.
