- CAMP6/2017
The judge correctly exercised her case management discretion by refusing leave to file a late witness statement because the applicants failed to justify unexplained delay and there was real prejudice and risk of disruption to the defence and trial preparation; the judge properly balanced probative value against prejudice and required the plaintiffs to procure relevant documents from the bank before seeking leave; leave to appeal was refused as having no prospect of success and indemnity costs were awarded to the defendant fixed at $640,000 payable forthwith.
