- HCA4089/1994
Recorder dismissed the plaintiff’s leave application because the intended interrogatories were, in context, not both relevant and necessary to the fair disposal of the competency, effects, inquiry-as-to-damages or costs issues; the judge’s exercise of discretion in refusing leave was within lawful ambit, proportionate given extensive contemporaneous medical/nursing records and expert evidence, and the plaintiff lacked a reasonable prospect of success or other sufficient interest-of-justice reason to warrant an interlocutory appeal.
