"Fabulous lawyer, professional, sincere and genuine...highly recommended. Other lawyers shied away from our tough case but James took it on with verve and vigor. With a highly qualified support team, James has paved the way to settle our case. James has keen attention to detail and a good ability to problem solve. The client has to make the final decisions on matters and quality advice is essential if the correct decisions are to be made, that's what you get from James. I cannot recommend James and Blue Ocean Law Group enough, they are pinnacles in the profession!"

You can ask the plaintiff to plead their claim more fully (i.e. give more information about their claim) if the plaintiff used the following words to claim money in the Statement of Claim:
⚖️ Goods sold and delivered by the plaintiff to the defendant;
⚖️ Goods bargained and sold by the plaintiff to the defendant;
⚖️ Work done or materials provided by the plaintiff for the defendant at the defendant’s request;
⚖️ Money lent by the plaintiff to the defendant;
⚖️ Money paid by the plaintiff for the defendant at the defendant’s request;

⚖️ Interest on money due from the defendant to the plaintiff, and forborne at interest by the plaintiff at the defendant’s request;
⚖️ Money found to be due from the defendant to the plaintiff on accounts stated between them.
You MUST file the Notice to Plead Facts within 28 days of being served with the Statement of Claim or such other time as the court directs for you to file a defence (see UCPR 6.2).
You MUST serve a copy of the Notice on the plaintiff.
The plaintiff then has 28 days to file an Amended Statement of Claim pleading the facts on which he or she relies in full.
The Amended Statement of Claim MUST include a note to the effect that the Statement of Claim has been amended in response to the Notice.
If you have not filed a defence before you serve a Notice to Plead Facts, you do not have to file your defence until 14 days after you are served with the plaintiff’s Amended Statement of Claim.
