Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

A pleading which
sets forth a claim for relief, whether an original claim, counterclaim,
cross-claim, or third-party claim, shall contain (1) if the court has limited
jurisdiction, a short and plain statement of the grounds upon which the
court's jurisdiction depends, (2) a short and plain statement of the claims
showing that the pleader is entitled to relief, and (3) a demand for judgment
for the relief to which the pleader deems himself or herself entitled. Relief
in the alternative or of several different types may be demanded. In any
action for recovery because of personal injury or death, the claim for relief
shall not specify the amount of damages claimed, but shall, instead, contain a
general allegation of damage and shall state that the damages claimed are
within any minimum or maximum jurisdictional limits of the court to which the
pleading is addressed. At any time after service of the pleading, the
defendant may, by special interrogatory, demand a statement of the amount of
damages claimed by the plaintiff, which shall be answered within fifteen (15)
days. The information provided in the response to the special interrogatory
shall not be admissible into evidence at trial, nor shall it be communicated
to the jury by argument or otherwise, nor shall it affect or limit the verdict
rendered by the jury or the judgment issued by the court, in accordance with
Idaho rule of civil procedure 54(c).
