- Case number
- HCA2114/2007
Court granted leave to amend because the proposed amendments did not introduce new causes of action but added further instances and particulars of the same four pleaded causes (breach of confidence, inducing breach of duties, conspiracy, dishonest assistance); alternatively, even if new causes were introduced they arose from the same or substantially the same facts; alleged delay and prejudice were insufficient to warrant refusal given the scale of discovery and lack of clear irremediable prejudice or demonstrable inability to investigate.
