The appeal was dismissed because the proposed amendments would change the character and substance of the original defence, the Defendant failed to provide a cogent and satisfactory explanation for the 21‑month delay (change of solicitors was not an acceptable excuse), the timing indicated a tactical manoeuvre to resist summary judgment, and the Sessions Court Judge exercised her discretion lawfully with resulting prejudice to the Plaintiff that could not be compensated by costs.
