When can a defence be amended after the time contemplated under Rules 240 and 241?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Meilicke, 1937 CanLII 171 (SK CA):
When amendments are made subject to leave after the time contemplated under Rules 240 and 241 has expired, then the leave given will settle the terms, and when the leave is given to amend then Pease v. Moosomin (Town), supra, becomes applicable. General leave to amend the defence was asked and obtained in this case on the original motion when the statement of claim was amended.
