The amendment to introduce a constructive trust was a new cause of action not obvious from existing pleadings, was served late without sufficient justification, and would prejudice the defendant by necessitating an adjournment; accordingly leave to amend was refused and the plaintiff was debarred from running the constructive trust issue at trial or in closing submissions, with costs ordered to the defendant.
