    Leave to adduce the requested additional expert evidence was refused because the rehabilitation reports already identify necessary adaptations and likely treatment; recommendations for vocational assessment or specialist consultation are recommendations for future treatment/services whose costs should be claimed as future expenses rather than justified by separate expert testimony at trial; accommodation rental comparables and adaptation costs are obtainable from market sources and contractors so surveyor/architect evidence is not necessary except in truly exceptional cases.
