    The judge applied the court's discretion in a gross assessment to reduce billed preparation hours and leading counsel's fee because the claimed times and fee were not reasonable or proportionate given the documentation and complexity; junior counsel fees and hearing charges were allowed in full, producing a net reduction of 123,333.40 and an award of 409,658.10 to the plaintiff.
