Ammendments are usually done to lawsuits when people want to change them.
For example the following are examples of when to ammend a lawsuit
...if a plaintiff wants to opt out and not sue anymore, they can ammend the lawsuit.
...if a defendant is erased from the lawsuit.
...Change of venue (where the lawsuit is to be tried)
...change of complaint (if the plaintiffs want to increase or decrease the damages or monies being sued for)
I'm sure there are a lot more reasons to ammend a lawsuit, but I hope I gave you the gist of it and can follow from there.
