Supreme Court Rules 2000

The party making the allegations is to deliver to all other parties a schedule containing 7 columns headed respectively, from left to right as follows:column 1, item number; column 2, provision of contract, relied on in support of item; column 3, nature of allegation; column 4, amount claimed; column 5, response to allegation; column 6, provision of contract relied on in response to item; column 7, response to amount claimed.

The party making the allegations is to complete the first 4 columns as follows:in column 1, by numbering the items in sequence and relating each item to an allegation; in column 2, by identifying any contractual or other documentary provision relied on in respect of the item, preferably by date, clause and page number; in column 3, by describing briefly the item and substance of the allegation sufficiently to identify the item and by specifying the basis of the allegation in respect of it; in column 4, by specifying the amount claimed in respect of the item and, if applicable, the unit rate and the number of units to which the rate is applied.

The schedule is to be delivered – with the first pleading in which the allegations are made; or if an allegation is made under rule 260(2)(d), within 14 days after the entitlement is disputed.

The party delivering the schedule may add to or vary the format of the schedule if the addition or variation is likely to facilitate the clearer definition of the precise matters of dispute.
