The retainer was terminated on 25 July 1990 and its original fee structure could not rationally apply to the substantially reduced post‑termination scope; in the absence of any concluded agreement as to remuneration for services performed after termination the plaintiff was entitled to recover a reasonable sum on a quantum meruit, and the trial judge's order was set aside and the matter referred to the Master to assess that sum.
