Leave to issue subpoenas was granted because the evidence and documents sought from Dr Lee and Dr Chan were directly related to pleaded issues, the circumstances and reasons for the agreed mechanism were within their exclusive knowledge, there was no plain suggestion the subpoenas would be an abuse of process, the delay was explainable and not prejudicial to trial preparation, and it is not for the court at the leave stage to pre-judge the ultimate usefulness of the evidence.
