The court applied its case management discretion balancing the need to discourage expert shopping against the necessity of obtaining specialist evidence necessary for the just resolution of the dispute; because the experts' dealings had produced substantive and potentially outcome‑determinative controversy on causation and because Professor Yamada possessed specific expertise (notably on DSA risks) not adequately addressed in the existing reports, leave to substitute Professor Yamada for Professor Poon was granted, subject to costs and further case management directions.
