The appellant appealed the dismissal of his application for an assessment of his former solicitor's bills under the Solicitors Act.
The application judge found no 'special circumstances' to justify assessing the 12 paid bills, which were rendered over four years.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no error in principle or unreasonable result in the application judge's conclusion that the appellant failed to rebut the presumption that payment indicated acceptance of the accounts.
