Paragraph 9 Taking no further part in the proceedings

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

A respondent who has not presented a response to a claim or whose response has not been accepted shall not be entitled to take any part in the proceedings except to —

(a)

make an application under rule 33 (review of default judgments);

(b)

make an application under rule 35 (preliminary consideration of application for review) in respect of rule 34(3)(a) and (b);

(c)

be called as a witness by another person; or

(d)

be sent a copy of a document or corrected entry in accordance with rule 8(4), 29(2) or 37;

and in these rules the word “party” or “respondent” includes a respondent only in relation to his entitlement to take such a part in the proceedings, and in relation to any such part which he takes.
