Summary

The first defendant in a fraud case involving a Thai shipyard sought to amend his defence after new evidence in committal proceedings contradicted his original position regarding the destination of funds paid into a company's bank account. The court allowed the amendment on the peculiar facts, finding that the defendant had effectively retracted his initial position in light of the new evidence and that refusing the amendment would prevent the real issues from being determined at trial.
