In *Winton and Winton (No 2)*, Dawe J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the wife for costs and a related application by the wife which was dismissed. The proceedings concerned the division of property and associated costs.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband should be ordered to pay the wife's legal costs from a specific date, 5 February 2015, excluding costs already subject to a prior assessment order. The court also had to determine the outcome of the wife's Application in a Case filed on 23 March 2016.

Dawe J ordered that the husband pay the wife's legal costs from 5 February 2015, with the exception of those covered by a previous costs assessment order. This order specifically included the wife's costs associated with her application for costs filed on 23 March 2016. The wife's Application in a Case filed on 23 March 2016 was dismissed.
