Rule 32 Amendments to claim form

(1)

A claim form may only be amended—

(a)

with the written consent of all the parties; or

(b)

with the permission of the Tribunal.

(2)

Where any relevant period of limitation has expired, the Tribunal may permit an amendment—

(a)

to add or substitute a new claim, but only if the new claim arises out of the same facts or substantially the same facts as a claim in respect of which the party applying for permission has already claimed a remedy in the proceedings;

(b)

to correct a mistake as to the name of a party, but only where the mistake was genuine and not one which would cause reasonable doubt as to the identity of the party in question; or

(c)

to alter the capacity in which a party claims, but only if the new capacity is one which that party had when the proceedings started or has since acquired.
