49. Memorandum of documents to be endorsed on plaint

49. (1) The plaintiff shall endorse on the plaint, or annex thereto, a memorandum of the documents, if any, which he has produced along with it; and if the plaint is admitted, shall present as many copies on unstamped paper of the plaint as there are defendants, translated into the language of each defendant whose language is not the language of the court; unless the court, by reason of the length of the plaint or the number of the defendants or for any other sufficient reason, permits him to present a like number of concise statements of the nature of the claim made, or of the relief or remedy required in the action, in which case he shall present such statements.

(2) If the plaintiff sues or the defendant or any of the defendants is sued in a representative capacity, such statement shall show in what capacity such plaintiff or defendant sues or is sued; and the plaintiff may by leave of the court amend such statements so as make them correspond with the plaint. Such memorandum and copies or statements shall be examined by the Registrar of the court and signed by him if he finds them correct.
