LOS ANGELES -- A "Survivor: Pearl Islands" contender who alleges Danny Bonaduce injured him during taping of a reality TV awards show must provide more details in his lawsuit if he wants to seek punitive damages from the producers, a judge ruled on Monday.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael C. Solner gave lawyers for Jon "Jonny Fairplay" Dalton 20 days to revise the lawsuit with the additional information.

Dalton filed the suit Oct. 9 in Los Angeles Superior Court, naming Bonaduce, Fox Reality Channel and Natural 9 Entertainment as defendants.

Dalton alleges Bonaduce caused him emotional and physical distress following a tussle the two had during filming of Fox's "Really Awards," which was taped a week before the lawsuit was filed.

Dalton maintains he suffered a broken tooth, lost another tooth and two others loosened due to being dumped to the ground by Bonaduce, a radio personality who, as a child, was part of "The Partridge Family" during the 70s television series.

Dalton claims the producers let the battery occur, encouraged Bonaduce to go onto the stage uninvited; did not provide adequate, or any, security; ignored Dalton once he was bleeding; and failed to administer immediate medical care or contact medical personnel.

Dalton updated the complaint once before in response to a judge's finding last month that the details concerning alleged negligence by the producers were too vague.

Dalton's suit maintains Bonaduce "had a propensity to violence, anger and incidents of uncontrollable rage that (the producers) knew about or should have reasonably known about when they hired him."

But Solner, agreeing with Vicki Greco, an attorney for the producers, said the lawsuit does not currently explain who among her clients allegedly enticed Bonaduce to go on stage and harm Dalton.

According to Greco, Bonaduce was walking off the stage when Dalton jumped onto him.

Greco also said it was too early in the case to make a punitive damages claim. But Dalton's lawyer, Daniel C. Lapidus, argued the timing for such a claim was appropriate and that adequate details in support of it were already in the lawsuit.

Solner also scheduled a trial date for Dec. 16.

Monday's hearing on the producer's motion did not deal with the individual allegations against Bonaduce of battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence. He maintains he acted in self-defense.

Bonaduce, 48, starred in "Breaking Bonaduce," a 2005 reality show on VH1.
