Bill of Particulars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In law, a Bill of Particulars is a list of written statements made by a party to a court proceeding, upon demand of another party, that sets forth details of a claim or defense.
A bill of particulars may be used in either criminal defense or in civil litigation.
In criminal law, defense attorneys may request bills of particulars from prosecuting attorneys. However, prosecuting attorneys can not request the same of the defense. This request may be part of an omnibus motion, motion in limine, or similar motion.
In a tort or breach of contract case, either attorney or party can request it. It is rarely used in American small claims cases. It is not entirely clear whether this can be done in practice in Britain on the Allocation questionnaire.
