Rule 10. Form of Pleadings Caption; Names of Parties. Every pleading must have a caption with the court’s name, a title, a file number, and a Rule 7(a) designation. The title of the complaint must name all the parties; the title of other pleadings, after naming the first party on each side, may refer generally to other parties.
![Page 41: Tuesday, Aug. 26. Civil Procedure Law 102 Section 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba4c8c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
- Rule 8. General Rules of Pleading
(a) Claim for Relief. A pleading that states a claim for relief must contain:(1) a short and plain statement of the grounds for the court’s jurisdiction, unless the court already has jurisdiction and the claim needs no new jurisdictional support;(2) a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief; and(3) a demand for the relief sought, which may include relief in the alternative or different types of relief.
![Page 42: Tuesday, Aug. 26. Civil Procedure Law 102 Section 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649ea15503460f94ba4c8c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Rule 10(b)Paragraphs; Separate Statements. A party must state its claims or defenses in numbered paragraphs, each limited as far as practicable to a single set of circumstances. A later pleading may refer by number to a paragraph in an earlier pleading. If doing so would promote clarity, each claim founded on a separate transaction or occurrence — and each defense other than a denial — must be stated in a separate count or defense.

Three things that can be wrong with a complaint:1) legal sufficiency of factual allegations 2) level of specificity in factual allegations 3) evidentiary support for factual allegations

legal sufficiency of factual allegations
do they state a claim?

D had a duty of a care for PD breached the dutyP suffered damages D’s breach was cause of P’s damages

P alleges that D drove 100 mph through stop sign, causing an accident resulting in damages to P
Does P’s complaint fail to state a claim because P fails to mention that he too drove 100 mph through the stop sign and that had he not done so there would have been no accident?
