Although the prosecution failed to comply with statutory and practice timetable for serving expert reports, the court found the explanation inadequate but concluded that no irremediable prejudice to the defendant or unfairness to the trial would result because the experts were not due to be called for some time, the defence has time to consider and, if necessary, obtain their own expert evidence, and any inconvenience can be remedied by a short adjournment and/or costs order; accordingly leave to adduce the four expert reports was granted.
