When the plaintiff partnership increased to more than 20 partners and failed to register as required by the Societies Ordinance it became an unlawful society; the provision of legal services was central to that unlawful existence so contracts for those services were illegal and unenforceable, therefore the plaintiff could not recover fees; additionally the defendant failed to prove any binding waiver of unbilled fees from the 9 July 1984 meeting.
