JUDGMENT

Syed Ahmad Helmy JC:

This is the appellant's application for review of the taxed costs awarded by the learned deputy registrar in respect of the respondent's bill of costs dated 20 December 1999 relating to the item of getting up under Item 41 thereof.

The respondent had earlier filed her notice for taxation of costs on 23 December 1999 together with her bill of costs in encl. 25. The appellant, save for Item 41 on getting up, conceded to all items in the respondent's bill of costs. The bill came up for taxation before the learned senior assistant registrar, who after hearing counsels for the appellant and for the respondent on Item 41, allowed the sum of RM90,000 for getting up.

Both appellant and respondent filed a summons for review of the sum awarded for getting up; the appellant's summons and grounds therefore is found in encl. 32, while the respondent's summons and grounds for review is found in encl. 35.

On 14 May 2002, the learned deputy registrar, after hearing counsels' submissions on encls. 32 and 35, dismissed the appellant's application for review and allowed the respondent's application for review and enhanced the award for getting up to RM200,000.
