The Master concluded that the plaintiff had been materially prejudiced by negotiating without accurate cost figures and, applying the approach in Wong Tak‑sing, allowed that part of the bill to be reopened and the compromise set aside for the profits costs in question; although there was insufficient evidence to establish deliberate concealment by OLN, reopening would not prejudice the 2nd Defendant and was justified; the plaintiff was entitled to costs of the review against the 2nd Defendant, taxed if not agreed, and a certificate for counsel was ordered.
