In Floyd v Nevgold Pty Ltd [2024] QDC 106, the District Court of Queensland addressed a costs application following the plaintiff's unsuccessful bid for summary judgment. Malcolm Lewis Floyd filed for commission as a real estate agent for the sale of several properties by the defendant, Nevgold Pty Ltd.

The court denied Nevgold’s application for costs, determining that each party should bear its own costs for the summary judgment application.
