The engagement letter did not create a fixed fee; it established hourly charging rates and an estimate only, and the defendant's account that a firm fixed fee of HK$900,000 was agreed was not believable against contemporaneous documents; the Power of Attorney was validly executed and the plaintiff properly applied bail funds to fees; consequently there was no triable issue and summary judgment was entered for the plaintiff subject to taxation of the bill.
