    Case number
    DCPI1665/2011

    Defendant failed to make out a prima facie case for further psychiatric expert evidence because existing treating psychiatrists' and psychologist's reports, together with the second plaintiff's acceptance that those reports and diagnoses would not be challenged if the defendant's complaints are found truthful, meant additional forensic evidence was unnecessary; the application was very late, unjustified and would cause substantial delay and prejudice, therefore leave to adduce further psychiatric evidence was refused and the appeal dismissed.
