supplemental pleading

Read a random definition: princeps

A quick definition of supplemental pleading:

A supplemental pleading is a formal document used in a legal proceeding, usually a civil lawsuit, that either corrects a mistake in an earlier pleading or adds new information that has come up since the earlier pleading was filed. It is different from an amended pleading, which replaces the earlier pleading. The purpose of a supplemental pleading is to provide the court with important information that was not available before. It is important to follow the legal rules for pleading, which are the guidelines for how to state your claims and defenses in a lawsuit.

A more thorough explanation:

Supplemental pleading is a formal document filed by a party in a legal proceeding, usually a civil lawsuit, that either corrects a defect in an earlier pleading or addresses facts that have arisen since the earlier pleading was filed. It adds to the earlier pleading and does not replace it.

For example, if a plaintiff files a complaint but later discovers new evidence that supports their case, they can file a supplemental pleading to include that evidence. Another example is if a defendant files an answer but later learns of a new defense, they can file a supplemental pleading to add that defense.

Supplemental pleading is different from amended pleading, which replaces an earlier pleading and contains matters that were omitted or not known at the time of the earlier pleading.

Overall, supplemental pleading is a way for parties to ensure that the court has all the relevant information to make a fair decision in the case.
