Leave to re-amend and to join the executrix was incorrectly granted because the 1st defendant had delivered a comprehensive account on 6 November 2004 rendering the proposed new cause of action futile and because there were no special circumstances to justify a beneficiary suing in his own name; accordingly the appeal is allowed, the re-amendment and joinder are set aside and the Chinese amended statement of claim is struck out, with costs as ordered.
