72 Content of briefs—rates
An engaging entity must either:
(a) mark briefs with an hourly rate up to a maximum daily rate inclusive of conferences, consultations, preparation and other necessary work; or
(b) mark a “fee on brief” (inclusive of preparation time), if it considers this more economical than paying a fee based on counsel’s agreed hourly or daily rate.
