The appeal was dismissed: the costs order was properly interpreted as awarding the costs of the amendment summons in accordance with the final award on the December 4 summons (and the defendant had effectively not opposed placing the costs in the cause below), and the Master did not err in granting leave to amend because the new paragraphs raised factual issues (technical meaning of 試車 and contextual negotiations) appropriate for trial and the defendant had not shown irreparable prejudice from delay or the death of Mr Ng that would justify refusal to amend.
