This is an order from the Court of Appeal concerning an application by SharkNinja to admit new evidence (FBD 29) consisting of two annexes to a brief filed by Dyson's representative in a parallel US proceeding.

Dyson opposed the application, arguing the evidence was not decisive and that the submission was culpably delayed.
