Court granted leave to amend the statement of claim and to file the supplemental witness statement because the amendments were not at the eleventh hour, the plaintiff gave an acceptable explanation for delay, the proposed new causes and clarifications (including misuse of private information and extension to coaching profession) were arguable and not bound to fail on their face, the new discovery was uncontroversial and disclosed sufficiently before trial to avoid real prejudice, and any potential prejudice could be addressed by case management directions and costs orders.
