Tranten and Croft (No. 2)

In *Tranten and Croft (No. 2)*, heard before Kay J, the dispute concerned an application for further costs. The respondent was ordered to pay a sum towards the applicant's costs incurred up to 20 April 2005, in addition to an amount previously ordered on 10 July 2007.

The central legal issue before the court was the quantum of further costs to be awarded to the applicant. This involved determining the appropriate amount to be paid by the respondent to cover the applicant's legal expenses incurred up to a specific date, considering prior cost orders.

Kay J ordered that the respondent pay a further $7,000 towards the applicant’s costs incurred up to 20 April 2005. This order was made in addition to the costs previously ordered on 10 July 2007, effectively adjusting the total cost liability of the respondent.
