The defendants' application to adduce expert evidence was dismissed because the proposed expert questions principally sought to resolve factual questions about SIPO's motives and administrative history and/or to test the correctness of PRC legal advice which was not a live issue; such evidence would not assist the court and amounted to a fishing exercise contrary to Practice Direction PD5.2 and established authorities; consequently leave was refused and costs awarded to the plaintiffs.
