CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Zammitt and Zammitt (No. 2)*, heard by Moore J, the dispute concerned the outstanding legal costs and fees incurred in proceedings between the parents. The orders made by the court addressed the payment of these expenses, which included fees owed to a Dr W, as well as general costs and disbursements such as subpoena issuance, service, and counsel's fees.
The court was required to determine the quantum of outstanding fees and costs and to allocate responsibility for their payment between the parents. This involved assessing the amounts due to the Legal Aid Commission of New South Wales in respect of Dr W's fees and other disbursements, as well as fixing a sum for the father's legal costs payable by the mother.
Moore J ordered that each parent was to pay a specified sum to the Legal Aid Commission of New South Wales within one month for Dr W's outstanding fees. Further, within three months, each parent was to pay a different specified sum to the Legal Aid Commission for outstanding costs and disbursements. Finally, the mother was ordered to pay $10,000 to the father's solicitors within six months for costs fixed by the court.
