Summary
Following the grant of a Mareva injunction in matrimonial proceedings, the court addressed costs after the wife sought $40,000 on an indemnity basis and the husband argued for no costs in the interests of therapeutic justice. The court awarded $10,000 in standard costs, finding that while therapeutic justice had been appropriate when the consent order was reached, the husband's breach of the agreed terms compelled the wife into costly litigation and he could not then invoke therapeutic justice to avoid costs.
