In *Sweetland and Sweetland*, heard by Murphy J, the husband sought to withdraw a contravention application he had filed against the wife. The wife had made an oral application for costs.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the husband leave to withdraw his contravention application and whether to award costs to the wife.

Murphy J granted the husband leave to withdraw the contravention application, thereby removing the matter from the court's list. The court dismissed the wife's oral application for costs.
