Leave to adduce handwriting expert evidence was granted because the authenticity of the disputed Letter is relevant to a central factual dispute (whether the Gift was subject to oral conditions), expert opinion is likely to assist the trial judge, the estimated expert costs are proportionate to the value of the interests at stake, and the interests of justice outweigh the delay and prejudice from adduction of such evidence.
