The client brought a motion to oppose the confirmation of a Report and Certificate of Assessment regarding his former solicitors' legal accounts.
The solicitors brought a cross-motion for judgment based on a settlement agreement where the defendant in the underlying action agreed to pay the assessed costs.
The court found no special circumstances that would deprive the assessment officer of jurisdiction and upheld the assessment officer's findings.
The client's motion was dismissed, and the solicitors' cross-motion was granted, resulting in a judgment for the assessed amount of $125,602.83.
