Parties appearing in court who submit their claims in writing and who are assisted or represented by a lawyer must expressly state their claims and the pleas of fact and law on which each of these claims is based, indicating for each claim the documents relied on and their numbering.
A list of the documents supporting these claims is annexed to their written submissions.
These written submissions include a separate statement of the facts and law on which each of these claims is based.
These written submissions shall contain a separate statement of the facts and procedure, a discussion of the claims and pleas in law and a recapitulation of the claims in the operative part.
The pleas in law which have not been included in the written submissions shall be set out in the operative part.
Any pleas in law that have not been set out in the previous pleadings must be formally presented separately. The Court of Appeal or its First President shall rule only on the claims set out in the operative part and shall examine the pleas in support of those claims only if they are raised in the discussion.
The parties must set out, in their last submissions, the grounds on which they rely.
In their final written submissions, the parties must repeat the claims and pleas previously presented or relied upon in their earlier written submissions. If they fail to do so, they shall be deemed to have abandoned them and the Court of Appeal or its First President shall rule only on the last written submissions filed.
