SNIDER & SNIDER (No.3)

In the matter of *SNIDER & SNIDER (No.3)*, Judge McGuire of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for costs following proceedings between a husband and wife. The dispute concerned various applications filed by the husband and responses filed by the wife, the specifics of which are not detailed in the provided text, but which formed the basis of the cost application.

The central legal issue before the court was the apportionment of costs between the parties. Specifically, the court was required to determine the extent to which the husband should be ordered to pay the wife's costs in relation to the applications and responses filed during the proceedings.

Judge McGuire ordered that the husband pay 85% of the wife's costs. These costs were to encompass those incurred in relation to the husband's applications filed on 14 June 2018, 6 July 2018, 15 August 2018, and 21 December 2018, as well as the wife's responses filed on 6 August 2018 and 23 January 2019. The quantum of these costs was to be determined by agreement between the parties or, failing agreement, by taxation in accordance with the court's order.
