UNDERWOOD & PRATT

In the matter of *Underwood & Pratt*, heard before Judge Scarlett, the applicant sought an order for costs against the respondent. The dispute concerned the quantum of costs to be awarded following earlier proceedings between the parties.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of the appropriate sum for the applicant's costs, and whether any special arrangements for payment should be made.

Judge Scarlett considered the submissions of both parties regarding the costs claimed. The court found that the sum of $8,961.98 was an appropriate amount to fix for the applicant's costs. Furthermore, the court ordered that the respondent be allowed a period of six months to satisfy this payment.
