What are the pleadings in a notice of civil claim?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Olenga v. British Columbia, 2015 BCSC 1050 (CanLII):
Furthermore, the pleadings are embarrassing both to the defendants and the court in that they are the prolix, confusing and unintelligible. A reasoned and concise response from any named defendant would be impossible. Neither a defendant nor the court should have to parse through a notice of civil claim and either cobble together what it might intend or speculate about what cause of action is being advanced against which defendant: Sahyoun v. Ho, 2013 BCSC 1143.
