The master erred to the extent of making a factual finding on an interlocutory application that the plaintiff's relapse was caused by litigation anxiety and not the accident; while leave may be refused where the causal link is tenuous or costs disproportionate, relapse due to litigation may remain within the chain of causation and the court must weigh materials without making definitive factual determinations at interlocutory stage.
