Following a family law trial where the applicant was largely successful, the court determined the appropriate costs award.
The applicant sought $43,401.81, while the respondent argued for a lower amount, claiming divided success.
The court found the applicant was successful on most significant claims and noted the respondent's failure to comply with disclosure obligations and selective production of evidence.
The court awarded the applicant $38,000 in costs, representing an amount enhanced from partial indemnity but less than substantial indemnity.
