The court found the evidence on delivery and dates of receipt was materially in dispute and insufficiently proved by the Defendant, and alternatively that exceptional circumstances existed (including apparent duplicated charges, overcharging, failure to apply an agreed 25% discount and an unauthorised unilateral set-off of HK$342,343.19) to justify leave for taxation despite timing issues; accordingly the bills were ordered to proceed to taxation and the pending District Court action stayed; costs ordered for the Plaintiff.
