With the health warnings taking up so much space these days, I'm unable to work out the figures on the back of a fag packet, so could someone help me with this please:

"After a detailed assessment, Master Gordon-Saker ruled that, subject to proportionality, success fees for solicitors and counsel were allowed at 33% and the full insurance premium was allowed as claimed. He assessed costs at £167,389, including solicitors’ fees of £16,780 and counsel’s fees of £14,687."

I have to confess I cannot see how £16780 plus £14687, together uplifted by 33%, plus £58000 ATE premium amounts to £167389.
