Leave to appeal was refused because the defendants failed to explain why evidence existing in 2018–2019 could not have been obtained earlier, the late affirmations added new exhibits, the second limb of Ladd v Marshall was not satisfied, no error of law or clear injustice was shown in the judge's discretionary exclusion of further affirmations, and accordingly leave was not in the interests of justice; costs were awarded to the plaintiff on an indemnity basis, summarily assessed at $150,000.
