The Court allowed the appeal and granted leave to amend because the application was made before trial, no substantial prejudice or bad faith was shown, the plaintiff had pleaded sufficient particulars of the relevant Mainland law and the plea of illegality (smuggling) was not plainly unarguable; expert evidence is not required at this interlocutory stage and the judge had misapplied the proper principles in exercising his discretion.
