The master upheld the taxation: the disputed items were proper solicitor/own client items necessary to the retainer, the Firm provided credible evidence that the services were rendered after the retainer and the time spent was reasonable given the volume and nature of the documents; the Company had abandoned key objections at the taxation hearing and could not revive them at review, therefore no downward adjustment to the taxed amount was warranted.
