What are the elements of a proper pleading for breach of contract?

A motion for particulars usually will not be granted unless the moving party deposes that the particulars are not within his or her knowledge and that they are needed to plead; however, a supporting affidavit is not required if the allegations are so general and bald that it is clear that particulars of them are necessary (Pennyfeather v. Timminco Ltd., [2011] ONSC 4257).

Identification of a litigant’s position on material facts may be required by way of response to a Demand for Particulars (See Pillai v. Pillai, (July 21, 2015) Newmarket CV-15-0122633 (S.C.J.)).
