British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wayneroy Holdings Ltd. v. Sideen, 2002 BCSC 1510 (CanLII):
Case law under R. 19(16) suggests that the purposes of particulars are to inform the other side of the case they have to meet, to prevent the other side from being taken by surprise at trial, to enable the other side to determine what evidence will be necessary, to limit the generality of pleadings, to limit and decide issues to be tried and as to which discovery will be conducted, and to tie the hands of the party providing the particulars: Tse-Ching v. Wesbild Holdings Ltd. (1994), 98 B.C.L.R. (2d) 92 (B.C.S.C.) at p. 100.
