The taxing master dismissed the reviews and upheld the original taxation approach: although counsel provided diligent and high-quality work, much of it amounted to services beyond what is necessary on a party-and-party basis (luxuries) and therefore not recoverable at party-and-party rates; the original discretionary allowances were not shown to be wrongfully exercised; the review is dismissed and the Plaintiff awarded costs of the review of HK$12,900 by order nisi.
