Credit Suisse AG v Arabian Aircraft and Equipment Leasing Co EC and others [2013] All ER (D) 27 (Oct)
Particulars of claim were intended to define the claim being made. They were a formal document prepared for legal proceedings and could be expected to identify with care and precision the case the claimant was putting forward. They had to set out the essential allegations of fact on which the claimant relied and which he would seek to prove at trial, but they also had to state the nature of the case that was to be made in order to inform the defendant and the court of the basis on which it was said that the facts gave rise to a right to the remedy being claimed.
