Trial court abused its discretion when it unreasonably and unjustly conditioned order granting P's motion for leave to file 2d amended complaint upon newly named entities' compliance with court-ordered discovery.
Leave to amend required where complaint included some claims barred on their face by compulsory cross-complaint statute, but others not in existence at time of prior complaint which D might be able to assert in new complaint.
