The appeal was dismissed because the Sessions Court Judge properly exercised her discretion: the proposed amendments would change the substance and character of the original Defence, the facts underpinning the amendments were known when the original Defence was filed, the 21‑month delay was unexplained and inadequately justified by a change of solicitors, and the timing indicated a tactical manoeuvre to resist summary judgment causing prejudice not compensable by costs; therefore leave to amend was rightly refused and appellate intervention was unwarranted.
