The application for leave to rely on the 3rd affirmation was dismissed because the 1st defendant had already filed a substantive 2nd affirmation replying to the plaintiff's 3rd affirmation, the defendants failed to explain the delay, and the late, eleventh‑hour application amounted to abuse of process; accordingly the 3rd affirmation is not admissible, limited leave was granted only to file a solicitor affidavit exhibiting the Final Account, and costs were awarded personally against the defendants on an indemnity basis.
