The proposed amendments for which permission is sought
29.The proposed amendments involve a series of cascading pleadings. Counsel’s skeleton arguments separated the amendments into various discrete issues and, although there were some differences between the parties as to categorisation, I have adopted that broad approach below. The proposed amendments at paragraph 2A to 2I of the proposed Amended Particulars of Claim (“APOC”) are a summary of Mr Hebden’s proposed case post-amendment. The substantive proposed amendments are summarised below.
