The taxing master upheld the majority of the defendants' costs on the basis that this was an unusually heavy, multinational case justifying extensive conferences, travel and retained foreign counsel; established practice supports allowing London counsel refreshers for days out of London; absent specific supporting evidence individual items may be taxed off or reduced, but general objections unsupported by particulars are dismissed; overall discretion of the taxing master governs allowances.
