No binding 'Agreement' was proved that prepaid sums discharged the defendants' liability; therefore the defendants remain liable to pay reasonable fees and the matter of fees is to proceed to taxation (HCMP 1165/2018). Additionally the court found that HK$200,000 was paid in cash on 14 April 2015 and was unreceipted/unaccounted by the plaintiff; the charging rate for Eric was not agreed and is to be assessed on taxation; Tony was retained as junior counsel and his fees are payable and to be assessed on taxation.
