Weighing complexity, extensive reliance on experienced counsel and proportionality to the amount settled, the taxing master reasonably fixed the solicitor's hourly rate at HK$4,000, disallowed travel to the plaintiff's home and various items as excessive or unnecessary, refused transfer of disallowed party-and-party costs to the common fund, upheld the bulk of original taxation decisions and allowed only a HK$120 downward revision to expert item 400; plaintiff ordered to pay costs of the review to the defendant.
