Sometimes a party's pleadings need to be changed, or ''amended''. Usually, a change is required because a fact is wrong, like a date or a name. At other times, a change is required to raise a new defence or to make a new claim.
For example, say a claimant had a job when an action started and then lost it halfway through the case. If the claimant now needs spousal support but didn't make that claim in his or her their Notice of Family Claim, the claimant would need to amend his or her their pleadings to include the new claim.
