“The fee to be allowed for instructions to appeal or to oppose an appeal shall be such
sum as the taxing officer shall consider reasonable, having regard to the amount
involved in the appeal its nature importance and difficulty, the interest of the parties,
the other costs to be allowed, the general conduct of the proceedings, the fund or
person to bear the costs and all other relevant circumstances”
Over all, we think that though the award by the learned judge is on the lower side, we are
nevertheless satisfied that it is not so low as to warrant our interference especially since the
ruling by the learned judge was not based on wrong principle or bad policy. Ground (f) fails.
Consequently we find no merit in this reference and the same is dismissed with costs to the
respondent.
