Section 12.12(8)

Where an application is made against a State for a default judgment where the defendant has failed to file an acknowledgment of service— (Rule 23.1 defines ‘application notice’.) the application may be made without notice, but the court hearing the application may direct that a copy of the application notice is served on the State; if the court— the judgment or application notice (and the supporting evidence) may be served out of the jurisdiction without any further order; grants the application; or directs that a copy of the application notice be served on the State, where paragraph (8)(b) permits a judgment or an application notice to be served out of the jurisdiction, the procedure for serving the judgment or the application notice is the same as for serving a claim form under Section III of Part 6 except where an alternative method of service has been agreed under section 12(6) of the State Immunity Act 1978.
