Watson and Watson

In the matter of *Watson and Watson*, heard before Dessau J, the dispute concerned outstanding interim applications in family law proceedings. The specific details of the underlying dispute between the parties, the husband and wife, are not elaborated upon in the provided text, but the focus of the court's attention was on the procedural steps and costs associated with these applications.

The court was required to determine the appropriate course for the further listing of interim applications, the timeline for the filing of affidavit material by both parties, and the allocation of costs incurred on the day of the hearing.

Dessau J ordered that the further listing of the outstanding interim applications be adjourned to a specific date and time. The court also granted the wife leave to file an affidavit sworn on the day of the hearing, and directed the husband to file and serve any further affidavit material by a specified deadline. Finally, the court ordered the wife to pay the husband's costs thrown away on that day, fixed at $5,000, with a stay on payment until a property settlement was reached either by consent or by court order.
