Sometimes, we find that those who have initiated legal proceedings without consulting a lawyer have not provide sufficient details regarding the specifics of Claim or Defence. Sometimes they don’t give the proper facts or legal background to their claim or defense. If a claim hasn’t been stated or properly defended it may be difficult to amend the document at a later time.
