About the Webinar

While the Court has discretion in family law proceedings to order one party to pay another’s costs in certain circumstances, it can be difficult knowing when it is worth pursuing a cost application (and, if you do decide to file, how best to go about it!) This session examines the practical side of cost applications in family law proceedings and examines:

  • How the court is currently approaching cost applications for both financial and non-financial matters, including lessons for practitioners arising from Roydon & Roydon [2024] FedCFamC1A 105
  • Costs in parenting matters - in what circumstances are costs being granted in non-financial matters?
  • How costs are considered and awarded when it comes to appeals, including appeal certificates and what happens when a retrial is ordered
  • The level of work required to run a cost application - how much detail is needed to support the cost application
  • Tips for maximising your chances of success while maintaining proportionality with the costs of the cost application
