The parties could not agree on the terms of orders flowing from previous endorsements regarding support arrears, requiring the court to issue a further endorsement.
The respondent sought full indemnity costs, arguing the applicant acted in bad faith by attempting to enforce unascertainable arrears through the Family Responsibility Office despite the court's clear prior rulings.
The court found that the applicant's conduct amounted to bad faith under Rule 24(8) of the Family Law Rules, as she sought to relitigate the issue of arrears without reasonable justification.
Consequently, the court ordered the applicant to pay the respondent's costs on a full indemnity basis in the amount of $5,214.95.
