    DCEC710/2022

    The court granted leave because the three supplementary witness statements were relevant, material and necessary to answer new matters raised by the respondent and to fill gaps in the applicant's evidence; no prejudice or trial delay was demonstrated; permitting them serves fair and expeditious disposal and preserves case management; conversely, blanket leave for further reply statements was refused to avoid an endless cycle of evidence.
