The summons for leave to file the late supplemental expert report was dismissed because the applicant failed to provide a convincing or exceptional explanation for the lateness, the draft report raised new unpleaded issues and overstepped the proper scope of expert opinion (including making submissions and accusations), and its admission would prejudice the respondent and risk disrupting trial preparation; accordingly leave was refused and costs ordered against the applicant.
