The court reviewed the taxation afresh, applied the item-by-item indemnity principle, and concluded the taxing master's allowances were largely reasonable and should be upheld except for limited increases on particular items where evidence justified them; global aggregate argument was rejected; in relation to the costs orders made by the master the judge found the 9/7/05 and 9/8/05 costs orders unsupportable and set them aside, reallocating costs consistent with who succeeded on the respective contested issues and the parties' relative responsibility for generating the hearings.
