The application was dismissed because the plaintiff failed to prove he was incapable of attending in person: the evidence of inability to obtain a visa was inconsistent, uncorroborated and showed a lack of diligence (no adequate follow-up or explanation); the PRC lawyer’s assertions lacked evidential basis; and the application was made late with unexplained delay close to trial, causing potential prejudice. Accordingly, leave to give evidence via VCF was refused.
