(a) Each averment of a pleading shall be simple, concise and direct. No technical forms of pleadings or motions are required.(b) A party may set forth two (2) or more statements of a claim or defense alternately or hypothetically. When two (2) or more statements are made in the alternative, and one of them would have sufficed if made independently, the pleading will not be considered insufficient by the insufficiency of one or more of the alternative statements. A party may also state as many separate claims or defenses as he has regardless of their inconsistency. All statements shall be made subject to the obligations set forth in Rule 9.
