    Leave was granted because neuroradiology expert evidence was relevant, necessary and proportionate: the contested legal issue of causation depended materially on technical interpretation of MRI/MRA/Doppler images; the neurologist experts reached conflicting and evolving interpretations indicating interpretative difficulty; a neuroradiologist's specialist imaging and technological expertise was likely to materially assist the court in resolving causation on the balance of probabilities under the court's case management powers.
