The parties were involved in family law litigation where costs of a disclosure motion were reserved.
They subsequently agreed to mediation/arbitration and signed a comprehensive Separation Agreement settling all outstanding issues.
The respondent husband later sought a determination of the reserved costs.
The court held that it had no jurisdiction to deal with the issue of costs because the parties had comprehensively settled all of their outstanding issues, and the husband failed to raise the issue of reserved costs during the mediation or before signing the settlement documents.
