    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCPI394/2006

    Leave was granted because the court lacked the psychiatric expertise to interpret discrepancies between the plaintiff's clinical presentation and behaviour on surveillance; the supplemental joint reports were relevant and of probative value, were likely to assist and potentially shorten the assessment hearing, and the delay in applying did not outweigh the benefit to the court.
