The application was dismissed because the defendant failed to show the proposed tests were necessary or likely to assist a fair and proper trial: the alleged renovation was a new, unsupported allegation raised late; the evidence relied upon (photos/infrared images and expert paragraphs) was inadequate; prior judicial remarks did not authorize the specific test; and permitting the test would unacceptably disrupt case management and delay trial preparation. The exercise of the court's discretion therefore required refusal.
