Re: Need help with an amendment claim

You need to file with the court and serve on the defendant an amended claim form as per court instructions in accordance with CPR part 17
https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/pr...l/rules/part17
and https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/pr...rt17/pd_part17

Don't forget the statement of truth

Re: Need help with an amendment claim

You have said you have "Permission for the claimant to amend the claim form to add blank as a second defendant"
Part 17 states the Court Procedure Rules if amending a statement of case.

I know of no other directions to comply with.
Others might know of a different set of rules!!

Re: Need help with an amendment claim

As you have the court's direction you need to follow that.
From what you have posted you need to file and serve an amended claim form as per Practice Directions 19A
The example linked to in Charity's post (does that girl never sleep?) needs to be tweaked to reflect the fact you already have the court's permission.

Addition or substitution of defendant

3.1 The Civil Procedure Rules apply to a new defendant who has been added or substituted as they apply to any other defendant (see in particular the provisions of Parts 9, 10, 11 and 15).
3.2 Where the court has made an order adding or substituting a defendant whether on its own initiative or on an application, the court may direct:
(1) the claimant to file with the court within 14 days (or as ordered) an amended claim form and particulars of claim for the court file,
(2) a copy of the order to be served on all parties to the proceedings and any other person affected by it,
(3) the amended claim form and particulars of claim, forms for admitting, defending and acknowledging the claim and copies of the statements of case and any other documents referred to in any statement of case to be served on the new defendant.
(4) unless the court orders otherwise, the amended claim form and particulars of claim to be served on any other defendants.
3.3 A new defendant does not become a party to the proceedings until the amended claim form has been served on him².

A claim form is amended by striking through in RED and replacing the struck through words in RED (CPR 17 2.2 et seq)
