Section 8.9

Where the Part 8 procedure is followed— provision is made in this Part for the matters which must be stated in the claim form and the defendant is not required to file a defence and therefore— Part 16 (statements of case) does not apply; Part 15 (defence and reply) does not apply; any time limit in these Rules which prevents the parties from taking a step before a defence is filed does not apply; and the requirement under rule 7.8 to serve on the defendant a form for defending the claim does not apply; the claimant may not obtain judgment by request on an admission and therefore— rule 14.2 does not apply; and the requirement under rule 7.8 to serve on the defendant a form for admitting the claim does not apply; and the claim shall be treated as allocated to the multi-track and therefore Part 26 does not apply.
