A quick definition of pro forma amendment:
A pro forma amendment is a formal change made to a law or document, usually by adding, deleting, or correcting words. It can be done automatically without permission from a court or judge, or it can be done retroactively by court order. In parliamentary law, an amendment can change the wording of a motion by adding, inserting, or substituting text. A friendly amendment is one that the person who made the original motion supports and no one objects to.
A more thorough explanation:
A pro forma amendment is a formal revision or addition proposed or made to a statute, constitution, pleading, order, or other instrument. It is a change made by addition, deletion, or correction, especially an alteration in wording.
- Amendment as of course: An amendment, usually to pleadings, that a party has a statutory right to apply for without the court's permission.
- Amendment on court's own motion: A change to a pleading or other document by the judge without a motion from a party.
- Nunc pro tunc amendment: An amendment that is given retroactive effect, usually by court order.
These examples illustrate different types of amendments that can be made in legal proceedings. They show how a pro forma amendment can be used to make changes to a document or order, either by a party or by the court, and how it can have retroactive effect.
