Key Principle

The purpose of a statement of case is to inform the other party of the case it has to meet so that it can plead to it, give relevant disclosure and prepare evidence; a pleaded case must therefore be a concise and clear statement of the material facts relied on, and a vague or incoherent pleading is liable to be struck out.
