Mact case fee for advocate

My Dad died in road accident six years back (2009) and we filed MACT in Chennai high court (small causes)on the same year with the help of advocate. And advocate fee was discussed as 15% initially.

 

I paid the court fee and other court  charges for the case and  in the due course of period lawyer have charged me around 25 thousand  as miscellaneous fee.

 

Now we got the judgement  and awarded amount is 1397000 with interest of 7.5 percent.

So my doubt here is how i should pay the advocate. The 15% is on the awarded amount or I have to  add the  15% of interest amount also.

The agree percentage will be on the award as well as the interest, however you may deduct the amount given to him as miscellaneous expenses, what was the reason that you spared that amount for?
