36.05. How pleading amendment made



(1) Unless the Court otherwise orders, an amendment to a pleading shall 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) shall indorse the copy pleading previously filed with a
statement to the effect that the amended copy has been substituted.

(3) Where either of the requirements of paragraph (1)(a) is complied with, the
Registrar shall, 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 shall be made in such a way as to distinguish
the amendment from the original pleading and from any previous amendment to
the original.
