ABC Blocks

A changed written pleading in a lawsuit, including complaint or answer to a complaint. pleadings are amended for various reasons, including correcting facts, adding causes of action (legal bases for a suit), adding affirmative defenses, or responding to a court’s finding that a pleading is inadequate as a matter of law. amendments cannot be made willy-nilly, but only prior to being served, upon stipulation by the parties or order of the court.
