- HCCT20/2018
The judge refused leave to appeal and refused a stay because the intended appeal lacked a reasonable prospect of success and there was no other interest of justice to hear it; the refusal to admit the late expert evidence was a proper exercise of case management discretion in light of undue delay, prejudice to the defendant, failure to use procedures available to challenge the single joint expert, and concerns about the proposed expert's independence; therefore leave and stay were refused and costs were ordered against the plaintiff.
