Leave to file and serve the replacement Amended Points of Claim was granted because the limitation and pleading objections were not such plain and obvious defects as to justify refusal; the court exercised its discretion under procedural rules to permit repleading and determined that issues of limitation, concealment and fraud particulars required trial (or a preliminary issue) rather than summary disposal; settlement with the principal wrongdoer did not extinguish separate liability of the alleged secondary tortfeasor.
