- High Court
Leave granted: the High Court has jurisdiction under s172(3)(a) to permit an additional ground of objection where evidence emerged after the hearing supporting that ground; the correspondence and affidavit relied on were new and sufficiently relevant; permitting the amendment serves the interests of justice, will not cause undue prejudice because reply and timetable orders can address any prejudice, and avoids needless duplicate proceedings before the Assistant Commissioner.
