The following excerpt is from Miscolczi v. Wiebe, 1989 CanLII 4585 (SK QB):
The plaintiff sought an amendment to her pleadings at trial to claim prejudgment interest. I do not consider that a proper request as it was only made at the opening of the trial. See Barnes v. Lamb Developments Ltd. et al., [1984] Sask. D. 1.
