The court exercised its power under O.15 r.6A(4)(b) and O.20 r.5 to allow the plaintiff to amend the Writ of Summons to add the deceased as 1st plaintiff and to re‑describe the plaintiff as a dependent 2nd plaintiff, dispensing with service of the Amended Writ; the amendment was a correction of capacity/description (not a change of identity) and was just and necessary to allow the claim to proceed in accordance with the procedural approach in Bushra Bibi.
