The court will permit a variation of directions to allow a late firefighting expert solely to address whether the plaintiff's enclosure of Staircase A rendered it inaccessible and contributed to loss because the issue is relevant on the pleadings and can be dealt with without serious prejudice to the plaintiff; the expert's report must be narrowly confined to that issue and other fire matters remain for the parties' fire expert; parties will be heard on appropriate directions.
