The court held that, under ss.58,60,63 and 66 of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance, the plaintiff (Raymond Chu & Co.) is precluded from recovering fees on the basis of an alleged oral fixed fee agreement and must first deliver properly itemised bills which the defendant may have taxed; Order 14A was an appropriate procedure to determine that legal question and the court consequently made directions for delivery of documents and bills and awarded costs of the summons to the defendant.
