The reviewer lacked jurisdiction to consider the additional 150 claims because the attempted amendment was made well outside the statutory time limits governing review (s136/reg 21A), Judge Beattie had remitted only the 37 identified claims to review, and adding the 150 claims would constitute fresh, time‑barred causes of action; accordingly the appeal fails on the merits and leave to appeal out of time is refused.
