CB1, CB2, CB5, CB6 and CB8 were not final bills: the retainer did not authorise final periodic accounts and there was no natural break or break in nexus between component matters; CB10, although later withdrawn, had been rendered as a final bill within one month of the originating summons and its prior issue and surrounding circumstances could be considered. Therefore the six bills constituted a series and the Plaintiffs were entitled to taxation under s67(1); withdrawal of CB10 did not obliterate the fact it had been delivered for the purposes of the statutory right to tax.
