The court exercised its discretion to permit withdrawal of the concession and admitted the expunged expert report for the de novo trial because the application was made in good faith, the de novo trial is a fresh hearing so no real prejudice would result to the respondent if appropriate case management directions and proportional measures are imposed, and the expert evidence on valuation of the artworks is relevant, necessary and likely to be helpful to the just adjudication of the ancillary relief dispute.
