Expert witness expenses incurred by the first defendant were approved as recoverable disbursements under High Court Rules r48H because the expert was engaged specifically for the proceeding, the evidence was necessary, the attendances (inspection, review, meetings) were appropriate, and the claimed hourly rates were reasonable; the Witnesses and Interpreters Fees Regulations 1974 do not control civil High Court witness expenses.
