The court exercised its discretion to exclude questioning on matters (discussions in the restaurant) that were not foreshadowed in witness statements and where the plaintiff's solicitors had not made sufficient effort to obtain a full statement, because permitting such questioning would cause unfair surprise; however, the court allowed limited questioning on the circumstances of the plaintiff's departure/cessation of employment as administrative matters less likely to produce injustice.
