    FCMC13741/2019

    Applying the family‑law discretionary approach and assessing the case on an overall impression, the court concluded no order as to costs between the husband and the wife and no order as to costs between the husband and the wife's parents because neither party was overall successful, the parents' involvement was limited, there were no formal findings setting aside the Section 17 transfers, and the husband's significant disclosure failures meant his costs application must fail; however the husband must bear the costs of the costs application by reason of his unsuccessful application.
