The Master dismissed the review: on party-and-party taxation only costs necessarily or properly incurred are recoverable; Mr Neoh's instruction was unnecessary and a luxury for the narrow interlocutory appeal and his disbursements and profit costs were therefore excluded (or would be taxed down as excessive); two counsel certificate was appropriately applied to Mr Chong and Mr Leung (Mr Leung's gratuitous status did not preclude recognition of his role), and no fraudulent conduct by Defendants' solicitors was found requiring further inquiry.
