Liberal right to amend.

Must move promptly; amendment may be denied where there has been a long delay in seeking it.

Considerable liberality should be used by ct. in allowing amendments which do not completely and entirely depart from general area of cause set up in pleadings.

If pleadings deficient, court should allow amendment.
