The court allowed the amendment because the respondent's own witness statement supplied credible material supporting an alternative principal‑contractor claim, the proposed amendment was not impermissibly inconsistent given corroborating sources, and delay or potential service on a third party did not outweigh the need to decide the matter on its merits; accordingly the respondent's objections were overruled and costs were apportioned by the court.
