The application was dismissed because the defendant gave no adequate explanation for substantial delay in seeking leave to issue and serve a Third Party Notice out of the jurisdiction, and granting leave at this late stage would inevitably cause substantial and prejudicial delay to the plaintiff's trial; although negligence of the driver was likely and unlikely to produce inconsistent findings, the contractual issues between defendant and Third Party were different and did not justify late joinder.
