The judge found the accountants' reports to be factual/accounting compilations (arithmetical additions/subtractions from books) not expert opinion; the reports had been disclosed in lists and used in earlier proceedings so late filing of witness statements was an oversight without sufficient prejudice to justify exclusion; application to exclude was dismissed, no joint expert was ordered, but further targeted discovery and specific timelines were mandated and costs allocated as ordered.
