Court rejects Price Waterhouse bill of $76 m for 63 days of liquidation work

A Hong Kong judge has hit out at the provisional liquidators of the Bermuda-registered Peregrine Group after they and their legal advisers charged fees of $76 million for just 63 days of work.
Doreen Le Pichon, Judge of the Court of First Instance High Court, said she was “greatly troubled by the amount involved” and refused to accept the charges of accounting firm Price Waterhouse and its legal advisers unless they could prove the work was reasonable and necessary.
