The master and the court have a general power to grant an extension of time to comply with O76 r5 even after pleadings have closed; the defendant's non‑compliance in this record was not a fundamental incurable irregularity and no irremediable prejudice was established; the master’s exercise of discretion to grant time was appropriate and should not be disturbed; retrospective leave to file the supplemental (7th) affirmation is warranted; striking out the defence and counterclaim was not justified.
