Wiles & Paglia (No 2)

The case of *Wiles & Paglia (No 2)* concerned a dispute between the parties, Wiles and Paglia, heard before Carew J. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but it involved a second iteration of proceedings, indicated by "(No 2)".

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of costs. Specifically, the court was required to consider how costs should be allocated in light of the parties' conduct and the outcome of the proceedings.

Carew J applied the general principle that costs follow the event, meaning the unsuccessful party typically bears the costs of the successful party. However, the court also considered whether there were any exceptional circumstances that warranted a departure from this general rule, such as unreasonable conduct during the litigation. The court's reasoning would have involved an assessment of the parties' actions and submissions in relation to the overall conduct of the case.

The final orders of the court regarding costs were not specified in the provided text.
