The court exercised its discretion to admit the two late affidavits because their relevance and probative value, combined with manageable prejudice to the defendants and available short adjournment, justified admission; the defendants were given a six-week reply period, the hearing was adjourned to a specific date, and the plaintiff was ordered to pay the costs of the application including wasted costs assessed summarily if not agreed.
