Public Law analysis: This case involved a ‘late’ application for permission to re-amend an Amended Defence. The court refused permission for re-amendments that raised largely historic issues and of no direct relevance to the defendants' case. However, the court permitted re-amendments that had a real prospect of success provided that the defendants re-phrased them as a concise summary of the particular allegation. The court also clarified that proposed re-amendments comprising broad references to documents are not appropriate for concise particulars. While the court confirmed the application was late, it did not consider it a very late application (ie one that prejudiced the trial listing) as concise re-amendments of the particulars would not threaten the existing trial dates with appropriate case management.
