Law/Patents - Law (general) / Family law
French term or phrase: Eu égard à
This is in the last paragraph of a legal decision on child support between 2 ex-spouses.
I can't quite get my head around the last sentence. Who is the subject of the last section "compense les frais..."?

Here is the whole section:

Prend acte qu’à dater du 1er octobre 2018, Madame ... assumera seule les frais extraordinaires relatifs à l’enfant commun.

Eu égard à la qualité des parties et à la nature de la cause, compense les frais et dépens de la
procédure.

agree  Lara Barnett: RegardING at the beginning of a sentence is a bit conversational in register, so is not the best term for this context..

disagree  Daryo: That would deform the meaning of the whole sentence. It's too much of "not quite right"

Sorry, I should also have explained "compense", which I think is what this question is really about. As Kathleen points out in the discussion box, it means "orders each party to pay its own costs".
