Facts of the Case
Background
The appellants paid US$400,000 for 400,000 litres of fuel but only received 40,000 litres. They recovered US$360,000 through legal proceedings. During the dispute, the respondent law firm advanced US$19,500 to the appellants. After the appellants recovered their money, the respondent demanded repayment of the US$19,500, which the appellants refused, leading to this litigation.
