In *Walker and Castell (No.2)*, Judge Middleton of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application by the Husband concerning costs and the discharge of a previous order. The dispute arose in the context of family law proceedings, with the Wife seeking costs and the Husband seeking to discharge an existing order.

The primary legal issues before the Court were whether the Husband should be ordered to pay the Wife's costs, and whether a specific order made on 24 August 2016 should be discharged.

The Court ordered the Husband to pay the Wife's costs in the sum of $3491 within 28 days. Additionally, the Court discharged Order 12 of the orders dated 24 August 2016.
