The court exercised its discretion to allow the late filing and service of the witness statement because the evidence was relevant to the 3rd defendant's adverse possession defence, the plaintiff provided a credible explanation for lateness, there was no demonstrable serious prejudice to defendants who were granted 35 days to file supplemental witness statements, and the trial timetable was unlikely to be disrupted.
