Does the new complaint need to be drafted already before filing at the time that I request the motion for Leave to amend?

[@advocatelucinda]

The best practice is to attach a proposed copy of the amended complaint to the motion for leave to amend. Read local rules to ensure the court would permit the attachment.

[@ciaranelson5185]

I was given the rt to file.an amended complaint. It is still okay to end with a short conclusion is this case? Somebody answer

[@advocatelucinda]

A complaint (including amended complaint) consists of short and succinct statements. See F.R.C.P. 8.

I amended my complaint once befor the defendant provided an answer or motion. Can I amend it again in the future in response to a motion?

[@advocatelucinda]

You will need to seek leave to amend. It involves you filing a Motion for Leave to Amend. Typically, local motion rule requires that the movant confer with opposing counsel and get their consent. Read F.R.C.P. 15: www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_15

[@morganlucas9062]

Is this requested in lieu of refiling? I must talk with the opposing team and the judge this thursday..... If i refile...im at risk for the ppposing team yo say ive breached the statute of limitations. A lawyer said shr may need 12 months to prepare. Please tell when this is necessary and allowed Thank you

The doctrine of Equitable tolling

[@advocatelucinda]

In the motion for leave to amend, the plaintiff seeks permission from the court to submit a corrected complaint. To avoid a statute of limitations issue, your amendment must relate back to the original pleading date. It's called the Relation Back Doctrine. On relation back of amendments, read F.R.C.P. 15: www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_15 Also, here is the link to a video I did on the Relation Back Doctrine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWqqZquhqqqCo6s
