The court found no proven collateral oral agreement and held the parties were bound by the engagement letter alone; the DLO's without prejudice offer crystallised the new GFA and therefore amounted to the 'approval by the Lands Department' referred to in the engagement letter, which entitled the plaintiff to the bonus fee; judgment was entered for the plaintiff for the sum claimed with interest and costs.
