Here are some points you can include in your submission:
- Good Faith Effort: Emphasize your intention to act in good faith by promptly seeking the court's permission as soon as you realized the oversight.
- Justification: Clearly outline the reasons for the delay. This could be due to unforeseen circumstances or new evidence that necessitated the amendment.
- Prejudice: Highlight any potential harm to your case if the amendment is not allowed, and argue that it would not prejudice the opposing party.
- Legal Precedents: Reference any relevant legal precedents where late amendments were permitted by the court.
- Compliance: Assure the court of your willingness to comply with any conditions they may impose for allowing the amendment.
These points can strengthen your position and demonstrate a well-reasoned basis for your request.
