The court found the proposed amendments (paras 3A, 6A and 9 as clarified) arise out of the same or substantially the same facts as existing causes of action and that in all the circumstances it is just to grant leave to re‑amend; paragraph 9 was rendered acceptable by the added clarificatory sentence expressly denying any intention to sue as assignee, removing risk of introducing a new cause of action; minimal prejudice to defendants and the Commercial Court's procedural approach justify allowing the amendments and giving consequential directions.
