Order 16 — Statement of Claim

(1) Every Statement of Claim or Counterclaim shall specifically state the relief claimed either in the main or in the alternative, and it shall not be necessary to ask for general or other relief which may be granted as the Judge may think just.

(2) Where the Claimant seeks relief in respect of several distinct claims or causes of complaint founded upon separate and distinct grounds, they shall be stated as far as may be, separately and distinctly.

Where a Statement of Claim is filed, the Claimant may alter, modify or extend his claim without any amendment of the indorsement of the Writ: Provided that the Claimant may not completely change his cause of action indorsed on the Writ without amending the Writ.
