The court allowed the summons to restore the two untaxed items and proceeded to review; exercising its discretion under established taxation principles (HKCP 2017), it fixed the partner hourly rate at HK$5,000, reduced specific time allowances for MP bill items (allowing 45 and 10 minutes for the senior assistant solicitor), upheld the use of a two‑person team where justified and confirmed the assessed brief fee and refreshers for counsel; the reviews were dismissed and an order nisi for costs was made in favour of the plaintiff.
