4 Cards On This Topic:

Unlike supplemental complaint, amended complaint relates back to filing of original complaint.

If supplemental complaint sets up new causes of action, it does not relate back to filing of original complaint.

Courts should exercise liberality in permitting supplemental pleadings when alleged "occurring after" facts pertinent to the case.

If original complaint does not state cause of action, supplemental complaint may not cure defect.
