The Court allowed the appeal and set aside the order for taxation because the judge erred in finding 'special circumstances' under s67(2); the solicitors' work was not contentious within s63 in Hong Kong, an express reservation did not suffice to overcome the statutory one month limit, and there was insufficient material that the bill was excessive.
