The applicant sought costs following the dismissal of the respondent's motion for leave to appeal regarding child support.
The respondent argued the court lacked jurisdiction to award costs because the initial endorsement was silent on the issue and the applicant delayed in seeking them.
The court found that the applicant's counsel had promptly notified the court and the respondent of the intention to seek costs, satisfying the requirements of the Family Law Rules.
The court awarded the applicant costs fixed at $7,500.
