Leave to adduce expert evidence on French law was refused because the contested issues at trial are questions of fact about alleged misrepresentation/non-disclosure that do not require foreign-law expertise; the alleged undisclosed matters failed the objective materiality test; the proposed expert evidence would not assist the court in the fact-finding exercise; and the application was inexcusably late and contrary to CJR objectives of proportionality and procedural economy.
