Leave to file the late Macau legal opinion was refused because the defendant failed to give a satisfactory explanation for the delay despite prior leave to serve evidence, the opinion was accompanied by untranslated Portuguese documents, it omitted dealing with a material clause (clause 10) which might affect the plaintiff's right to sue, and an adjournment or leave is not to be granted automatically even if prejudice might be compensable by costs.
