Where parties have expressly contracted that unpaid charges will attract recovery of costs on a solicitor and own client basis, the court must give effect to that contractual right and may enter judgment for those costs to be assessed by taxation; the District Judge erred in refusing to do so on the ground of fettering the court's discretion or because the provision was penal.
