Whitby and Whitby

In *Whitby and Whitby*, Hogan J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the Respondent for an order that the Applicant pay her costs of and incidental to two applications filed on 19 December 2012.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the Respondent should be awarded costs in relation to these specific applications.

Hogan J dismissed the Respondent's application for costs. The reasons for this decision are not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates that the court found no grounds to order the Applicant to pay the Respondent's costs for those applications.
