Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999

All amendments must be distinguished so as to be identifiable from the remainder of the document.

If an amendment is made, the document amended must have a notation on it showing—

the date of the amendment; and

either—

if the amendment was made by leave of the court, the date of the order giving leave; or

if the amendment was made other than by leave of the court, the number of the rule under which it was made.

An amendment may be made in writing on the document being amended.

However, if writing an amendment on the document is inconvenient or makes the document difficult to read, the party making the amendment must file a revised document incorporating and distinguishing the amendment.

Subject to rule 74, if an originating process is amended and the amendment is made on the originating process, the appropriate officer of the court must stamp near the amendment with the seal of the court.

If a revised originating process is filed under subrule (4), the appropriate officer of the court must stamp the revised originating process with the seal of the court.

The court may direct how an amendment is to be made.
