(c)
state specifically any matter that if not stated specifically may take another party by surprise; and
(d)
subject to rule 419 (Pleadings—other relief), state specifically any relief the party claims; and
(e)
if a claim or defence under a statute is relied on—identify the specific provision of the statute.
