W Companies and George and Anor

In the matter of *W Companies and George and Anor*, Watts J of the Supreme Court of Western Australia was required to determine an application concerning costs. The application was brought by the husband, seeking an order that the wife pay his costs in relation to a specific application.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the husband's oral application for costs against the wife should be granted. This required the Court to consider the appropriate orders to be made regarding the costs of the application.

Watts J dismissed the husband's oral application that the wife pay his costs. The Court made no further orders regarding costs.
