VINICOMBE & VINICOMBE

In the matter of *Vinicombe & Vinicombe*, the applicant sought costs from the respondent following an application filed on 21 September 2017. The proceedings were heard by Gill J.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the respondent should be ordered to pay the costs of the applicant’s application. This determination was made in the context of family law proceedings, with reference to sections 79A and 117 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).

The court ordered that the respondent pay the costs of the applicant’s application. The quantum of these costs was to be determined either by agreement between the parties or by assessment.
