The court held that the admission issue was academic because subsequent formal settlement obviated the need for the overseas counsel; nondisclosure of the informal 'global settlement' did not amount to misleading the court given its informal and uncertain nature and the solicitors' reasonable professional judgment; and the court lacked jurisdiction under Rule 9(2) Cap.159 to award costs against the Bar Council, so the prior costs order was withdrawn.
