Warren F Ball and Co and Farrer

The Supreme Court of Queensland, in a decision by O'Ryan J, considered a dispute between Warren F Ball & Co Solicitors and the Wife. The proceedings concerned an application filed by the Wife on 16 March 2007, the subject of which was the payment of a sum of money and associated costs.

The primary legal issues before the Court were the determination of the amount owed by the Wife to Warren F Ball & Co Solicitors and the assessment of the costs payable by the Wife in relation to the application.

O'Ryan J ordered that the Wife pay to Warren F Ball & Co Solicitors the sum of $8,939.08 by 4.00 pm on 12 October 2007. Furthermore, the Wife was ordered to pay the costs of Warren F Ball & Co Solicitors of and incidental to the application filed on 16 March 2007. These costs were to be agreed in writing between the parties by 4.00 pm on 12 October 2007, or failing such agreement, to be taxed on a solicitor and client basis.
