Sully and Paulus

In the matter of *Sully and Paulus*, Stevenson J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application by the mother for the father to pay her costs associated with an application filed on 26 March 2018.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the father should be ordered to pay the mother's costs of the aforementioned application.

Stevenson J determined that the mother's application for costs should be dismissed. The court reasoned that each party should bear their own costs in relation to the application filed by the mother on 26 March 2018.

Consequently, the court ordered that the mother's application for costs be dismissed, and that each party was to pay their own costs of and incidental to the application.
