   (a) All papers filed in any formal complaint proceeding must be drawn
   in conformity with the requirements of § § 1.49 and 1.50.

   (b) All averments of claims or defenses in complaints and answers shall
   be made in numbered paragraphs. The contents of each paragraph shall be
   limited as far as practicable to a statement of a single set of
   circumstances. Each claim founded on a separate transaction or
   occurrence and each affirmative defense shall be separately stated to
   facilitate the clear presentation of the matters set forth.

   (c) The original of all pleadings and other submissions filed by any
   party shall be signed by the party, or by the party's attorney. The
   signing party shall include in the document his or her address,
   telephone number, email address, and the date on which the document was
   signed. Copies should be conformed to the original. Unless specifically
   required by rule or statute, pleadings need not be verified. The
   signature of an attorney or party, in accordance with the requirements
   of § 1.52, shall be a certificate that the attorney or party has read
   the pleading, motion, or other paper; that to the best of his or her
   knowledge, information, and belief formed after reasonable inquiry, it
   is well grounded in fact and is warranted by existing law or a good
   faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing
   law; and that it is not interposed solely for purposes of delay or for
   any other improper purpose.
