Although the proposed amendments raised real issues and were not bound to fail, the defendants offered no satisfactory explanation for the very late expansion of their pleaded defence; permitting the amendments at this stage would be prejudicial and contrary to case management principles, therefore leave to amend is refused while the plaintiff's application to strike out the specified parts of witness statements is granted as necessary to remove evidence beyond the pleaded defence.
