Despite the serious and inexcusable delay, the court allowed the re-amendment because the plaintiff had been the victim of a serious fraud by the defendant's agent and the proposed amendments materially strengthened the case; balancing prejudice to the defendant against the risk of denying the plaintiff a substantive remedy, the court concluded justice required permitting the re-amendment but vacating the trial and imposing costs consequences on the plaintiff.
