The application to amend the notice of application for leave was refused because the proposed grounds were not new to the applicant, no good reason was shown for the delay in raising them after they had been known for many months, granting the amendments would have required an adjournment and caused prejudice (including suspension of the Director's working group), and public law imperatives of finality and expedition outweigh permitting the late expansion of issues after leave had been granted.
