See Pt 14, Div 6, rr Claims for indemnity under s Z 1 a of the Workers Compensation Act are not claims for personal injuries, however, the plaintiff insurer should provide particulars whereby the defendant would know the case it had to meet in relation to, amongst other things, the damages the worker would have obtained in the appropriate proceedings: Allianz Australia Insurance Ltd v Newcastle Formwork Constructions Pty Ltd [] NSWCA The most common ground on which such applications are made is that a pleading, including such particulars as it may contain, fails to serve the notice function of pleading, that is, the need to inform the opposite party of the case to be met.
The order may provide that the specified particulars be supplied by filing an amended pleading containing the required particulars or that the particulars be supplied by letter.
The former course is in strict accord with r Which course to adopt will depend on the circumstances. Where the particulars in question are extensive or fundamental to the case, it may be preferable to require an amended pleading to be filed.
The following sample orders are provided. These can be varied to require the particulars to be supplied by letter. I order that, by [ Insofar as the alleged agreement was express, whether the agreement was in writing or oral or partly in writing and partly oral.
Insofar as the alleged agreement was oral, when, where and by whom on behalf of the parties respectively the relevant utterances were made and, in substance, the oral terms of the agreement. Insofar as the alleged agreement was implied, the facts and any statute law relied on as giving rise to the implication and, in substance, the implied terms of the agreement. The court may refuse to allow evidence to be lead outside the case pleaded and particularised, if an amendment should, in justice, not be allowed.
The pleadings may be amended if appropriate, on terms as to adjournment or as to costs or otherwise , if an amendment should, in justice, be allowed. Where the case has been conducted on a basis outside the pleadings and particulars, the court should decide the case as litigated. Apart from cases where the parties choose to disregard the pleadings and to fight the case on issues chosen at the trial, the relief which may be granted to a party must be founded on the pleadings … But where there is no departure during the trial from the pleaded cause of action, a disconformity between the evidence and particulars earlier furnished will not disentitle a party to a verdict based upon the evidence.
Particulars may be amended after the evidence in a trial has closed … though a failure to amend particulars to accord precisely with the facts which have emerged in the course of evidence does not necessarily preclude a plaintiff from seeking a verdict on the cause of action alleged in reliance upon the facts actually established by the evidence. Accordingly, the circumstances in which a case may be decided on a basis different from that disclosed by the pleadings are limited to those in which the parties have deliberately chosen some different basis for the determination of their respective rights and liabilities.
Pleadings and particulars. The issues purpose. The notice purpose. Authorities supporting these purposes. A joinder of issue, may be express or implied. Presumed facts. The last pre-trial motion is called a summary judgment which a judge can effectively decide a case if there are no disputed facts.
Lastly, there are a few procedures either party can invoke even after the trial is over. A common example is a motion for a new trial, which a party may claim when they believe legal errors clouded the original trial. These motions are rarely successful, as there is a very high burden of proof. Still, these motions can occur in civil trials, particularly when there are high stakes involved. As you can see, there are many possible pleading and motion procedures that a personal injury case may take.
This also helps explain why personal injury cases can spread out over weeks, months, and even years. For more information, call our law office at General Reference Principles of Legal Research 2d ed.
