The summons was dismissed because the proposed amendment and witness statement would affect immovable milestone trial dates, the defendant failed to provide a satisfactory explanation or affirmation for the inordinate delay, 'late instructions' did not amount to exceptional circumstances, the amendment lacked merit, and permitting it would necessitate adjournment and cause prejudice; costs of HK$9,500 were awarded to the plaintiff.
