ABSTRACT
The provisions concerning amendments to statements of case under the CPR of Jamaica and the OECS are quite different from those under the English CPR. The opportunities to amend under the Jamaican and OECS rules are more limited than under the English Rules. Rule 20.1 provides that a party may amend a statement of case at any time before the case management conference without the court’s permission, unless the amendment involves a change of parties or changes to a statement of case outside the relevant limitation period, in which cases special rules apply (see below).
