Theodorou and Theodorou (No 2)

In *Theodorou and Theodorou (No 2)*, Foster J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications for costs made by both the applicant husband and the respondent wife.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of whether either party should be awarded costs, and if so, on what basis, given the applications made by both.

Foster J dismissed both parties' applications for costs. The judgment indicates that the court considered the applicable principles governing costs in family law proceedings and concluded that neither party was successful in their respective applications to warrant an award of costs.
