The agreed HK$3.70 rate between the Official Receiver and the profession is not binding on taxing masters; the proper inquiry is the reasonable photocopying rate in the circumstances and, absent better evidence, the master's discretion to adopt HK$3.00 (the solicitors' prescribed rate) was reasonable and should not be disturbed; additionally a liquidator cannot represent other liquidators without entitlement under Practice Directions, rendering those parts of the taxation irregular.
