Amendment of Pleadings in Ontario - Rule 26

The court will not grant you a remedy unless you have asked for it in your pleadings. Therefore, you may need to amend your pleadings during the course of your court action to properly reflect the facts of your case or the remedies you are seeking from the court. This lecture explains how pleadings are amended in a civil action in Ontario pursuant to the Rules of Civil Procedure. This lecture is taught by Amer Mushtaq, LL.B., M. Engineering, B.Sc.
