The court found on the evidence that Lei, as sole director, entered into three oral agreements and repeatedly assured the firm that Sellon would pay outstanding legal costs upon sale of the Property; those assurances and conduct bound Sellon by actual and apparent authority; the cause of action accrued on the sale contingency and, in any event, acknowledgements (the faxes) refreshed limitation; the itemised bills were reasonable and not shown to be inflated; accordingly judgment for the firm for HK$462,559.79 with interest and costs was entered against Sellon.
