The function of pleadings is to state with sufficient clarity a case that must be met: Gould and Birbeck and Bacon v Mount Oxide Mines Ltd. (In Liquidation) [1916] HCA 81; (1916) 22 CLR 490, per Isaacs and Rich JJ. at p 517. In this way, pleadings serve to ensure the basic requirement of procedural fairness that a party should have the opportunity of meeting the case against him or her and, incidentally, to define the issues for decision.[26]
