36.06 How pleading amendment made

(1)

Unless the Court otherwise orders, an amendment to a pleading must be made by—

(a)

amending the copy of the pleading filed in the Court or filing a copy of that pleading as amended; and

(b)

serving a copy of the amended pleading on all parties.

(2)

A party who files an amended copy of a pleading in accordance with paragraph (1)(a) must indorse the copy pleading previously filed with a statement to the effect that the amended copy has been substituted.

(3)

If either of the requirements of paragraph (1)(a) is complied with, the registrar must, as the case requires, indorse the copy of the pleading filed in the Court with the date it is amended or the copy of the pleading as amended with the date it is filed.

(4)

Each amendment to a pleading must be made in such a way as to distinguish the amendment from the original pleading and from any previous amendment to the original.
