Costs of Ms Sparks' strike out and/or defendant's summary judgment application are reserved until the substantive s 182 Family Proceedings Act claim is decided because the application was not unreasonable or an abuse of process, there was a real basis for the application on some points, the proceedings are not Category 3 and did not warrant second counsel, and there is no basis to make an immediate costs award against the Trust for its limited participation.
