Rule 10 Pleadings

a. Types of Pleadings

The complaint and answer shall constitute the pleadings. Except as provided in subsection (b), no further pleadings shall be filed. No motion or demurrer shall be filed against any of the pleadings. Nothing in this rule prevents the subject judge from submitting, in writing, information regarding the legal sufficiency of the pleadings or any other relevant matters.

b. Amendments to Complaint or Answer

The complaint may be amended to conform to proof or to set forth additional facts, whether occurring before or after the commencement of the hearing. In case such an amendment is made, the judge shall be given reasonable time both to answer the amendment and to prepare and present his or her defense against the matters charged thereby.
