Viola and Latham and Ors

In the matter of *Viola and Latham and Ors*, heard before Macmillan J, the wife sought orders against the second and third respondents. The dispute concerned the costs associated with the wife's Application in a Case, which had been filed and subsequently amended on multiple occasions.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of liability for the costs incurred by the second and third respondents in relation to the wife's application.

Macmillan J ordered that the wife was to pay the costs of the second and third respondents. These costs were to be agreed upon within 21 days of the court's orders, or if agreement could not be reached, they were to be assessed forthwith on a party-party basis. The costs were to be payable immediately upon agreement or assessment.
