The review succeeds: allowance of the $120,000 brief fee for Mr Remedios is reversed because, although two counsel may be necessary in some cases, here no prior notice was given to the plaintiffs that the defendant would seek a substantive hearing that day and Mr Remedios was instructed merely on the possibility of a full argument; under party and party taxation the fee for that attendance was not shown to be necessary or proper and must be disallowed.
