What is the purpose of particulars in a personal injury action?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Fowler v. Canada (Attorney General), 2012 BCSC 367 (CanLII):

The applicant submits that the purpose of particulars is to require a party to clarify the issues raised by the pleadings so that the opposite party may be able to respond properly and to prepare for discovery and for trial. The applicant relies on Yewdale v. ICBC, [1994] B.C.J. No. 1892 (S.C.) at para. 68.
