The Case
In giving his judgment in respect of costs in a Calderbank case, the judge had applied the relevant rules and there were no grounds upon which the court was entitled to interfere with his conclusion. Whilst recognising the difficulties which arose from the awkwardness of the language of r 2.69B of the Family Proceedings Rules, the rule was not incomprehensible and could be read with other relevant provisions to make an order which reflected the justice of the case.
