- HCMP2653/2016
Leave to re-amend the defence was granted despite lateness because the proposed plea invoking Article 177(a) raised a real and potentially dispositive issue on the exercise of the court's discretion in awarding compensation under s214(2)(e); R2 had later provided a legal opinion on Cayman law and the amendment was necessary to dispose fairly, but R2 was penalised on costs for the timing and lack of explanation.
