In the absence of direct evidence of pecuniary loss by the litigant in person the Master's proper approach was to re-tax the bill item by item under Order 62 rule 28A(3) applying the statutory cap of HK$200 per hour for work by the litigant and assistants, while allowing the medical report fee as a reasonable disbursement; the indemnity principle does not displace the statutory regime governing taxation of a litigant-in-person's costs under rule 28A.
