What does the particulars of claim set out?

• A. A detailed chronology of the facts and legal elements
• B. The defendant's address for service
• C. The court's assigned judge
• D. The claim value

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that the particulars of claim lay out the factual and legal basis of the claim, plus the remedy sought. It typically presents a narrative or structured account of the events, showing what happened and when, the legal grounds (the causes of action) that the claimant relies on, and what relief they want (for example, damages or an injunction). This document is focused on informing the other party what the claim is based on, so it doesn’t deal with administrative details like the defendant’s address for service or the judge assigned to hear the case. The court’s assigned judge is determined later in the process, and while the claim form may note a value, the essential purpose of the particulars is to describe the facts and legal basis, not to state administrative particulars.
