Leave granted to both parties to call one PRC law expert because the validity of the first transfer agreement (pleaded in defence) requires interpretation of PRC law and is relevant to the plaintiff's claim; the scope of expert opinion is confined to the live issues as framed by the defendants' proposed formulation, expanded to cover consequences of non-performance; the plaintiff's proposed issue on notice by the assignee was excluded as not a live issue and estopped by the prevention principle.
