The court held that the proposed pleading of the Short‑Piling Scandal (paras 56B/58A) was not improper and leave to re-re-amend should be permitted in the terms allowed; particulars identifying corporate officers were not required at pleading stage given the nature of the averments and prevalent practice of detailed witness statements; experts may be permitted to opine on compliance and quality issues and may base opinions on facts supported by other admissible evidence; costs should follow the event with specific costs orders nisi and summary assessment directions.
