pleading.

prayed for not only in the body of pleading but also in the prayer , and that the
damages should be considered in the assessment of the filing fees, any pleadings
that fails to comply with the requirement shall not be accepted or admitted.
SUN INSURANCE VS ASUNCION
Same rules apply to permissive counterclaim, 3rd party claim and similar pleadings

commenced any similar action involving the same issues in any other tribunal or
agency.
