Holding

Facts
The applicant filed an Advocate-Client Bill of Costs and the taxing master taxed item 1 as instruction fees. The applicant seeks to have this taxation set aside and seek new fees based on the taxed relevant party and party costs increased by half of Kshs.172,669.50.
Issues
- Whether the taxation of instruction fees by the taxing master can be set aside
- Whether the applicant is entitled to instruction fees based on the taxed relevant party and party costs increased by half of Kshs.172,669.50
- Whether costs of the application should be provided for
Reasoning
The applicant has not provided a basis for why the taxation of instruction fees should be set aside. The taxing master's assessment was reasonable and took into account the nature and importance of the cause or matter.
Outcome
Dismissed with no orders as to costs
