On the evidence (retainer letters, conduct of parties, payment patterns and affidavits including admissions by the 2nd defendant and solicitors), the intention of the parties was that the retainer was joint and several; the Master therefore correctly taxed costs accordingly and the alleged settlement was not proved by admissible direct evidence, so the appeal is dismissed.
