Leave was granted. The judge held that because the Court of Appeal remitted issues to a different judge, fresh evidence could be admitted; the Daughter's statement was short and probative, the Defendant could adequately respond within available time, there was insufficient prejudice or disruption to justify refusal, and the objectives of civil justice reform did not outweigh the need to decide the dispute on substantive merits. Accordingly admission was justified and conditional directions for a supplemental statement and costs were ordered.
