Relief founded on separate grounds
Full Text
Where the plaintiff seeks relief in respect of several distinct claims or causes of action founded upon separate and distinct grounds, they shall be stated as far as may be separately and distinctly.
Plain English Summary
Requires that where distinct claims or multiple causes of action are joined in a single plaint, the factual grounds supporting each must be set out in separate, segregated headings.
Key Legal Elements
- Segregated Pleading of Multiple Claims: Prevents confusing amalgamation of distinct legal rights.
- Aids Framing of Issues: Facilitates court in framing separate issues under Order XIV Rule 1 for each distinct claim.
- Complement to Order II Rule 3: Procedural format for joinder of causes of action.
Practical Note
Drafting Clarity: When suing for: (a) recovery of loan, (b) damages for breach of contract, and (c) rendition of accounts in one suit, use clear descriptive sub-headings for each cause of action.
