The court refused leave for late discovery of Attachments 2, 3 and 6 because the defendant gave no explanation for their non-disclosure; the court granted leave to serve Cheung Kam Wah's witness statement in an amended form excluding references to those attachments because the statement addressed factual matters not sufficiently covered by existing evidence, was relevant and probative, and admission would not cause undue prejudice or disruption (any potential prejudice could be compensated by costs).
