The summons was dismissed because the defendants provided no adequate explanation for issuing substantial new discovery two days before trial, the late production caused real prejudice and risked adjournment, the proposed documents' provenance and relevance were questionable, the conduct amounted to an abuse of process, and post-CJR procedural expectations require strict adherence; accordingly leave was refused and indemnity costs with a certificate for two counsel were awarded to the plaintiff.
