You can file an application for amendment of the written statement. It is the amendment of plaint and not of WS that will not normally be allowed if the amendment sought for changes the nature of the suit because the it is the plaint that determines the nature of the suit and not the WS.
You have not reached that stage when the court normally refuses amendment.
