Wotton and Wotton (No 2)

In *Wotton and Wotton (No 2)*, Cohen J of the Supreme Court of New South Wales considered an application concerning costs. The specific dispute related to costs arising from an adjourned hearing date and the costs of the current proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the Court was how to deal with the costs associated with an adjourned hearing on 17 August 2009, and the costs of the present application. The Court was required to determine when and before whom these costs should be heard and determined.

Cohen J ordered that the costs issue relating to the adjourned date of 17 August 2009 be adjourned for hearing before a Judge after the final judgment in the property proceedings had been made and all rights to appeal from that judgment had been exhausted. The costs of the current proceedings were reserved.
