Is a plaintiff required to amend her complaint to include issues that arise after the original complaint has been filed?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Allied Fire Protection v. Diede Const., 127 Cal.App.4th 150, 25 Cal.Rptr.3d 195 (Cal. App. 2005):

[Citation.]" (Doe v. Allied-Signal, Inc., supra, 985 F.2d at p. 914.) The court rejected the argument that plaintiff was required to amend her complaint. "However, plaintiffs need not amend filings to include issues that arise after the original suit is lodged. [Citation.]" (Id. at p. 915.) Moreover, plaintiff could not have amended her complaint because she did not suffer any damage from the misrepresentation about her employment status until the first suit was resolved. (Ibid.)
