79. Amendment of summons or pleading

Subject to Chapter VIII of Part 6 and the following provisions of this Part, the Court may, at any stage of the proceedings, allow the plaintiff to amend his summons, or any party to amend his pleading, on such terms as to costs or otherwise as it thinks just and in such manner, if any, as it may direct.

Where an application to the Court to make the amendment referred to in subsection (1) is made after any relevant period of limitation current at the date of issue of the summons has expired, the Court may grant such leave in the circumstances, if it thinks just, to do so.

Subject to subsection (2), any party may amend his pleading at any time before service to the other party without leave of the Court.
