The amendment summons is dismissed because there was inordinate and inexcusable delay, the proposed amendments introduce new causes and materially new factual bases (including change from negligence to intentional wrongdoing and novel claims of forgery and altered proprietary bases) that are time‑barred under s35 LO or otherwise bound to fail, and the defendants would suffer irremediable prejudice from the lateness that cannot be compensated by costs.
