Wang v Sceats

In the matter of *Wang v Sceats*, the Supreme Court of New South Wales was called upon to determine an application concerning costs. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, Wang and Sceats, is not detailed in the provided text, but the central issue before the Court related to the appropriate orders to be made regarding the costs of the proceedings.

The primary legal issue before Judge Street was whether any order as to costs should be made. This required the Court to consider the general principles governing the award of costs in litigation, including the usual rule that costs follow the event, and any exceptional circumstances that might justify a departure from that rule.

Judge Street ultimately made no order as to costs. This suggests that the Court found no compelling reason to depart from the usual practice of awarding costs to the successful party, or that there were specific circumstances that led to the decision to leave the parties to bear their own costs.
