The Court ordered taxation because the plaintiff was entitled under the Legal Practitioners Ordinance to have the bill taxed, the taxation procedure addresses only the quantum payable and not liability, and the defendant had not instituted or demonstrated an intention to litigate the liability issue by counterclaim or separate action; therefore there was no justification to delay or convert the originating summons into writ proceedings.
