Registrar refused defendants leave to amend because defendants breached a prior court order and offered no explanation for delay, failed to plead necessary particulars so experts could not substitute for pleadings, and the proposed market/trade practice matters were irrelevant given the parties' special (non arm’s‑length) relationship; the proposed mitigation plea was bound to fail as the 4th plaintiff lacked authority to sell the vessel; plaintiffs' application for expert evidence was allowed as drafted.
