Question

If I am filing an amended complaint for an unlimited civil complaint and I have yet to serve the first complaint yet when I serve the amended complaint should serve the initial complaint to the defendants when I serve them for the first time? thanks



Answer

You do not need to serve the Original Complaint, but make sure that some Summons is served.



Answer

No, but you will need a new summons for the amended complaint.



Answer

Amended pleadings completely supersede the previous pleadings. There is no need to serve anything that has been replaced by an amendmend version.
