The court exercised its case management discretion to grant leave because the plaintiff’s proposed expert evidence was not patently fanciful, directly addressed a central contested issue (retrospective competence before February 2013) likely to determine the scope of admissible evidence in a high‑value inquiry, and the balance of factors (significance, timing, proportionality and prior nondisclosure by defendants) justified admitting further expert evidence despite the potential for cost and delay.
