Zaber and Spencer

In the matter of *Zaber and Spencer*, heard before Judge Altobelli, the dispute concerned the costs of proceedings between a husband and wife. The specific nature of the underlying dispute that led to these proceedings is not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome relates to the allocation of legal expenses.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of how the costs of the proceedings should be borne by the parties. Specifically, the court was required to decide whether the husband should contribute to the wife's legal costs and, if so, to what extent.

Judge Altobelli ordered that the husband was to pay one half of the wife’s costs. This order applied from the commencement of the proceedings up to the date of the court's decision. The quantum of these costs is to be resolved either by agreement between the parties or, failing that, by assessment.
