Consider the following concept:

Pleadings create a framework for the relevant issues of the case The Alberta Rules of Court dictate what the pleadings must contain, and what rules must be followed in the litigation process- ensures the process is fair for both parties. Matters not raised in the pleadings CANNOT be raised at the trial

Plaintiff's pleading should include: Who is suing whom In what court Why (what loss has occurred or what debt is owed) Where and when did the relevant events occur What remedy is sought

Defendant's pleadings should include: Any defences (and/or the Defendant's version of events if different from the Plaintiff's) Any admissions voluntarily made Any counterclaims (that the defendant may have against the plaintiff)

Please give a real-life example of a statement of claim, and statement of defence with the circumstance explain above (DO NOT explain the concept again)
