Summary

The court determined costs of the father's summons in children matters, where the father had applied to vary custody arrangements. The court applied the general practice of no order as to costs in children matters, finding no exceptional circumstances to depart from that principle. For the costs argument itself, the mother was the winner and the father was ordered to pay summarily assessed costs of $46,000.
