Simons and Simons and Ors

The case of *Simons and Simons and Ors* concerned a dispute between Mr Simons (the husband) and the maternal grandparents and maternal aunt of his children. The specific nature of the dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but it involved the maternal grandparents, Mrs C Sanna and Mr E Sanna, and the maternal aunt, Ms F Sanna, in relation to the husband, Mr Simons. The decision was made by Cronin J.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of costs. Specifically, the court was required to decide who should bear the costs of Mr Simons in the proceedings.

Cronin J ordered that the maternal grandparents, Mrs C Sanna and Mr E Sanna, and the maternal aunt, Ms F Sanna, were to pay the costs of the husband, Mr Simons. These costs were to be paid in an amount that was either agreed upon by the parties or, failing such agreement, as assessed by the court.
