- Case number
- CTEA2/2017
The application to amend was refused because it was made at a very late stage, sought to introduce a substantially different factual case that would require significant new factual investigation and possibly joinder of additional parties, and would prejudice the Commission and other respondents by derailing fixed trial timetables and undermining efficient disposition of the case; the explanations for lateness and lack of partner knowledge were insufficient to justify that prejudice.
