# The Court of Protection Rules 2001, Article 51: Amendment of application


(1) The court may allow or direct an applicant, at any stage of the proceedings, to amend his application in such manner and on such terms as to costs or otherwise as may be just.
(2) The amendment may be effected by making in writing the necessary alterations to the application, but if the amendments are so numerous or of such a nature or length that written alterations would make it difficult or inconvenient to read, a fresh application amended as authorised or directed may be issued.
