Facts
The applicant's law firm was retained by the respondent to act for its client in a road accident case. The firm filed an advocate/client bill of costs, which was taxed and awarded in favor of the applicant for KES 100,576.00. The respondent disputes the taxation and claims the applicant has not served a demand letter.
Issues
