Trellis and Trellis and Ors

In the matter of *Trellis and Trellis and Ors*, Rees J of the Supreme Court of Tasmania was required to determine an application by the wife concerning the 6th and 7th respondents, and a separate application filed by the wife on 16 December 2011. The proceedings involved a dispute between the parties, with the wife seeking orders against the 6th and 7th respondents and also pursuing an earlier application.

The primary legal issues before the Court were whether the wife's application relating to the 6th and 7th respondents should be stood over to the trial, and whether her application filed on 16 December 2011 should be dismissed. The Court also had to consider the appropriate orders regarding the costs associated with these applications, particularly in relation to the 6th and 7th respondents.

Rees J ordered that the wife's application concerning the 6th and 7th respondents be stood over to the trial. The costs of the 6th and 7th respondents in relation to the wife's application for costs against them were reserved to the final hearing, as were the costs of all other parties. The wife's application filed on 16 December 2011 was dismissed.
