Rule 70 Order on consent where defendant appears

In a proceeding in which a defendant appears and admits that the amount stated in the process is due by him, or agrees to surrender possession of the premises sought to be recovered by the plaintiff and to pay any rent or arrears of rent which may be due to the plaintiff, the court may without hearing evidence make an order against him for the amount or for recovery of possession with costs and in doing so may postpone the issue of the decree in accordance with Article 116 of the Order for such period and upon such terms as it thinks fit.

Where the plaintiff does not appear before the court in person an order shall be made under this Rule only where the plaintiff’s solicitor or counsel is present and applies for it to be made.
