The retainer was a lawful time‑rate agreement and not a contingency fee arrangement; the Office Bill, not the Revised Bill, represented the clients' liability to their solicitors; the Taxation Bill sought amounts in excess of that liability and therefore breached the indemnity principle; an item‑by‑item comparison is required to quantify the overreach and the parties must produce agreed figures for the Registrar's approval.
