Sec.  12.204  Amended and supplemental pleadings.

    (a) Amendments to pleadings. At any time before the parties have 
concluded their submission of proof, the Judgment Officer may allow 
amendments of the pleadings either upon written consent of the parties, 
or for good cause shown, provided however, that any pleading as amended 
shall not contain an allegation of damages in excess of $30,000. Any 
party may file a response to a motion to amend the pleadings within ten 
(10) days after the date of service upon him of the motion;
    (b) Supplemental pleadings. At any time before the parties have 
concluded their submissions of proof, and upon such terms as are just, 
the Judgment Officer may, upon motion by a party, permit a party to 
serve a supplemental pleading setting forth transactions, occurrences or 
events which have happened since the date of the pleadings sought to be 
supplemented and which are relevant to any of the issues in the 
proceeding: Provided However, That any pleading as supplemented may not 
contain an allegation of damages in excess of $30,000. Any party may 
file a response to a motion to supplement the pleadings within ten (10) 
days after the date of service upon him of the motion.
    (c) Pleadings to conform to the evidence. When issues not raised by 
the pleadings but reasonably within the scope of a summary decisional 
proceeding are tried with the express or implied consent of the parties, 
they shall be treated in all respects as if they had been raised in the 
pleadings.
