What is a pleading that does not state the real issue in intelligible form?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Virk v. Brar, 2012 BCSC 1004 (CanLII):
A pleading is embarrassing if it does not state the real issue in an intelligible form. It is also embarrassing if it is prolix, includes irrelevant facts, argument or evidence. It is prejudicial if it is constructed in a manner calculated to confuse the defendants and make it difficult, if not impossible, to answer. Further, a pleading is frivolous if it is without substance, is groundless, fanciful, "trifles with the court" or wastes time: McNutt v. AG. Canada et al, 2004 BCSC 1113 at paras. 40-41.
