Sudetto and Sudetto

In *Sudetto and Sudetto*, the Honourable Justice Cronin considered an application filed by the husband on 17 December 2010 and a response filed by the wife on 20 January 2011. The precise nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed, but the orders indicate it involves proceedings where litigation funding and costs were significant considerations.

The court was required to determine the disposition of the husband's application and the wife's response, as well as to make orders regarding litigation funding and costs. The court also needed to set a date for the hearing of outstanding final applications.

Justice Cronin dismissed the husband's application and, save for the issue of costs, dismissed the wife's response. The court ordered the husband to pay the wife $50,000 for litigation funding, to be considered by the trial judge. Directions were also given for the parties to make written submissions regarding costs, with specific timelines for filing and service. Finally, the court listed all outstanding final applications for a first-day hearing on 1 April 2011, drawing the parties' attention to a notice attached to the orders.
