The Sessions Court Judge correctly refused leave to amend because the proposed amendments would change the character and substance of the original defence, the 21-month delay was unjustified and indicative of a tactical manoeuvre (change of solicitors was not a satisfactory explanation), and allowing the amendments would cause prejudice to the Plaintiff not compensable by costs; the exercise of discretion was lawful and not interfered with on appeal.
