- HCA538/2007
The amendment was allowed only as to the cause of action based on the oral cooperation Agreement because that claim arises from the same factual matrix as the Amended SOC and would require no major fresh investigation; the amendment based on agency/fiduciary duty was disallowed because essential allegations underpinning agency (notably defendants' responsibility for communications with PRC investors and plaintiff's reliance) were not pleaded previously and are not 'substantially the same' facts, so the agency claim is time‑barred and unsalvageable by amendment.
