Leave to re-amend was granted because the plaintiff legitimately pleaded an alternative, workably quantifiable method to assess bonuses payable in lieu of notice by reference to transactions the seven former desk members actually brokered for the competitor; objections based on ascertainability within seven days, employer discretion in bonus allocation, and alleged prejudice from disclosure were rejected as insufficient to deny leave, and discovery can be limited to numbers and volumes of transactions.
