Following a Reference regarding the partition and sale of a jointly owned property, the court determined the costs payable by the parties.

The respondent Banifatemi, who was completely successful on the Reference, was awarded partial indemnity costs of $8,238.40 payable by the applicant.

The applicant and the respondent Abdollahpour had divided success; the court ordered the respondent Abdollahpour to pay the applicant reduced costs of $2,000.00.

The respondent, Mr. Zelaya, sought to proceed with an uncontested motion to change an existing child support order, aiming to terminate child support for the youngest child and fix arrears.

The applicant, Ms. Zelaya, sought leave to file her late response and an adjournment to a case conference.

The court granted Ms. Zelaya's requests, finding her reasons for delay reasonable and Mr. Zelaya's motion material deficient and an attempt to re-litigate previously decided issues.

The court declined Mr. Zelaya's request to proceed uncontested and to grant interim orders, adjourning the matter to a case conference to define the issues.
