A notice of intention to respond filed by the defendant must state—

whether the defendant is represented by a solicitor; and

if the defendant is represented by a solicitor—the name of the solicitor; and

the defendant’s address for service; and

if any particulars of the defendant stated in the originating process are incorrect—the correct particulars.

See approved form 2.8 (Notice of intention to respond) AF2026-15.

Address for service is defined in the dictionary.

If the defendant to an originating claim chooses not to file a notice of intention to respond, but files a defence, the defence must state—

whether the defendant is represented by a solicitor; and

if the defendant is represented by a solicitor—the name of the solicitor; and

the defendant’s address for service; and

if any particulars of the defendant stated in the originating process are incorrect—the correct particulars.

See approved form 2.9 (Defence and counterclaim) AF2026-16.

If the defendant includes corrected particulars of the defendant’s name in the notice of intention to respond or defence, the court may amend the originating process accordingly.
