What is the difference between a third amended complaint and a fourth amended complaint?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Lavine v. Jessup, 314 P.2d 528 (Cal. App. 1957):

A reading of the third amended complaint and the fourth amended complaint, the latter of which was filed without leave to do so, convinces us that the allegations of the third amended complaint are in substance simply carried over into the fourth amended complaint. In many instances the identical language is used in each of the complaints.

It is said in Sheehy v. Roman Catholic Archbishop, 49 Cal.App.2d 537, 541, 122 P.2d 60, 62:
