    HCPI1327/2016

    The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because the defendant failed to show reasonable prospects of success; the judge held that the plaintiff's terminal condition and the overriding need for a speedy trial justified permitting the overseas oncologist (Professor Nutting) and an overseas radiologist and refusing to order substitution with a local oncologist, as a matter of case management.
