§ Rule 47. Claims for Relief
Rule 47. Claims for Relief
An original pleading which sets forth a claim for relief, whether an original petition, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third party claim, shall contain
(a) a short statement of the cause of action sufficient to give fair notice of the claim involved,
(b) in all claims for unliquidated damages only the statement that the damages sought are within the jurisdictional limits of the court, and
(c) a demand for judgment for all the other relief to which the party deems himself entitled.
Relief in the alternative or of several different types may be demanded; provided, further, that upon special exception the court shall require the pleader to amend so as to specify the maximum amount claimed.
