Leave to file the 3rd Supplemental Witness Statement was granted only insofar as it records the plaintiff's attempts to contact Hans and Alex and their confirmations (paras 1–17, pages 1–5 of exhibit CSC-4) because that evidence is relevant and not prejudicial; leave was refused for Chow's personal views and adoption of Hans' and Alex's statements (paras 8–49, pages 6–48) because those portions are of little or marginal probative value, were raised too late, and would unfairly prejudice the defendant and require further investigation and evidence, defeating cost-effectiveness and fairness.
