The plaintiff moved for leave to amend a statement of claim arising from alleged investment fraud by an advisor and alleged supervisory failures by institutional defendants.
Some amendments were granted on consent and some were withdrawn.
The court granted the contested amendments, holding they pleaded material facts rather than evidence, were relevant to negligence and punitive damages allegations, and were proportionate despite increasing the scope and complexity of discovery and trial.
Leave was also granted for a further particular of alleged negligence.
