- HCMP882/2020
WG’s summons to vary the order nisi is dismissed because the Foundation was the effective winner—54 of 76 bills were ordered taxed—and WG only succeeded on a single discrete point; the monetary proportion of fees not taxed does not displace the substantive victory; the Foundation’s conduct did not justify varying the order; costs of the summons are awarded to the Foundation and directions for summary assessment are set out.
