CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Walter and Walter (No 2)*, the wife sought a review of an earlier costs order made by the court. The dispute concerned the wife's liability for the husband's costs in relation to a review application she had filed. The matter came before Cronin J.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the wife should be ordered to pay the husband's costs arising from her review application. This required the court to consider the circumstances surrounding the application and the overall conduct of the parties in relation to that specific procedural step.

Cronin J ordered that the wife pay the husband's costs, fixed at $2350, specifically in relation to the review application filed on 23 June 2014. This outcome reflects the court's determination that the wife was liable for these costs.
