The court exercised case management discretion to refuse leave for a second quantum expert because the alleged defects in the single joint expert's report were not so fundamental as to require a separate expert: clarifications and a supplemental report from the existing single joint expert, and cross-examination at trial, were adequate; a structural engineer is capable of addressing quantum and may engage specialist contractor input under the joint appointment; balancing the relevant Daimler factors did not support permitting a second expert.
