The court rejected the plaintiffs' general duplication argument absent clear and cogent evidence that Hong Kong counsel merely adopted Singapore materials without independent input; applied EMI Records test that indemnity costs include items unless unreasonable and exercised taxing-master powers under O.62 r.35 to uphold most of the Master's global assessment while reducing specific fees identified as excessive, resulting in the specified revised allowances and an order nisi that each party bears their own costs of the review.
