The summons was dismissed because the defendant failed to demonstrate exceptional circumstances to justify late filing: the matters it sought to rely on were not new or were already available, the defendant had had the opportunity to put forward its case earlier, and allowing the further affidavit would prejudice the expeditious disposal of the Originating Summons and conflict with case management objectives under the Civil Justice Reform.
