On the facts and all relevant background the parties and the solicitors intended a joint and several retainer: the retainer letters, the conduct of the parties (pattern of payments), affidavit evidence from the 2nd defendant and the representing solicitor, and commercial common sense supported the master's finding; the alleged settlement was not proved by direct evidence, so the master's taxation decision was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
