Tritton and Poyzer (No 3)

In *Tritton and Poyzer (No 3)*, Dawe J of the Supreme Court of Victoria considered an application for costs following earlier proceedings between the parties. The specific nature of the dispute that led to the original proceedings is not detailed in the provided text, but the application before Dawe J concerned the allocation of legal costs.

The central legal issue before Dawe J was whether any orders for costs should be made in favour of either party. This required the court to consider the circumstances of the litigation and the conduct of the parties in determining the appropriate disposition of costs.

Dawe J ultimately determined that there should be no orders for costs made. This suggests that the court found no basis to depart from the usual rule that costs follow the event, or that there were specific reasons, such as the conduct of the parties or the nature of the dispute, that warranted a costs-neutral outcome. The court's reasoning for this decision is not elaborated upon in the provided text.
