Yum and Wen

In *Yum v Wen*, the wife sought costs orders against the husband following proceedings in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

The primary legal issue before Watts J was whether the wife should be awarded costs, despite the general rule that parties bear their own costs in family law matters.

Watts J dismissed the wife'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 depart from the usual cost rules in this instance.
