Most of the expert's fees and disbursements, including those subject to contractual fee caps in the engagement letters, were properly and reasonably incurred and allowed; however translation of the report and the charge for reviewing prosecution witness transcripts were beyond the proper scope of recoverable defence costs and were disallowed. The taxed hourly rate for the forensic accounting expert was acceptable in the absence of evidence it was excessive.
