Whiteley and Price

In *Whiteley and Price*, heard before Brown J, the dispute concerned applications for costs arising from subpoenas issued to Mr A Price and C Pty Ltd.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the applications for costs related to the subpoenas should be dismissed.

Brown J dismissed the applications for costs. The court's reasoning, as indicated by the order for reasons to be transcribed and provided to the wife, suggests a determination on the merits of the cost applications. The court also made a finding that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel, pursuant to Rule 19.50 of the *Family Law Rules 2004*.
