On the facts the interim bills were not final but bills on account; the court accepts the plaintiff's evidence that the parties made an oral agreement on 9 February 2000 to charge on party-and-party basis and that agreement was valid and enforceable; defendant failed to prove invalidity (no lack of informed consent, no fatal conflict, no uncertainty, no contingency fee), therefore plaintiff entitled to recover HK$71,449.95 and defendant's counterclaim dismissed.
