The Court held that unparticularised allegations of misfeasance by the Official Receiver cannot be used to delay or derail the taxation of the provisional liquidators' fees; the Official Receiver must either commence separate proceedings under s.276 or withdraw the allegations, failing which he will be barred from raising them at the adjourned taxation hearing. The proper route for assessment of the applicants' fees is taxation by a Master pursuant to Rule 6 of the Companies (Winding‑up) Rules, subject to any legitimate exclusions of work not properly undertaken.
