    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP116/1988

    The judge concluded he lacked sufficient evidence to overturn the taxing master's discretionary assessment, refused to receive fresh evidence himself, found the District Court judge's transfer to the High Court misguided, and exercised his power under Order 62 r.35(3) and s.53 of the Supreme Court Ordinance to appoint two assessors (one taxing master and one practising solicitor) to assist in a further hearing to determine the proper allowance for the medical witness fee.
