(a) Capacity. It is not necessary to aver the capacity of a

party to sue or be sued or the authority of a party to sue or be

sued in a representative capacity or the legal existence of and

organized association of persons that is made a party, except to

the extent required to show the jurisdiction of the court. When

a party desires to raise an issue as to the legal existence of any

party or the capacity of any party to sue or be sued or the

authority of a party to sue or be sued in a representative

capacity, the party desiring to raise the issue shall do so by

specific negative averment, which shall include such

supporting particulars as are peculiarly within the pleader’s

knowledge.

(b) Fraud, Mistake, Condition of the Mind. In all

averments of fraud or mistake, the circumstances constituting

fraud or mistake shall be stated with particularity. Malice,

intent, knowledge, and other condition of mind of a person

may be averred generally.

(c) Conditions Precedent. In pleading the performance

or occurrence of conditions precedent, it is sufficient to aver

generally that all conditions precedent have been performed or

have occurred. A denial of performance or occurrence shall be

made specifically and with particularity.

(d) Official Document or Act. In pleading an official

document or official act it is sufficient to aver that the

document was issued or the act done in compliance with law.

(e) Judgment. In pleading a judgment or decision of a

domestic or foreign court, judicial or quasi-judicial tribunal, or

of a board or officer, it is sufficient to aver the judgment or

decision without setting forth matter showing jurisdiction to

render it.

(f) Statutes and Ordinances. In pleading any statute or

ordinance or other enactment of the state or a subdivision

thereof, it is sufficient to identify the statute, ordinance or

enactment without setting forth the matter contained therein.

(g) Time and Place. For the purpose of testing the

sufficiency of a pleading, averments of time and place are

material and shall be considered like all other averments of

material matter.

(h) Special Damage. When items of special damage are

claimed, they shall be specifically stated.
