Rule 87 Order where debt paid before hearing

Where a defendant has paid the amount claimed in a process before the date of hearing, but has not paid the appropriate costs up till the date of payment, the court may make an order for the payment of the amount in the process with the costs, and direct that credit be given to the defendant for the amount paid.

Where a claim in debt proceedings is not defended, evidence by the solicitor for the plaintiff that the full amount claimed has been received from the defendant after the issue of the process may be accepted as evidence that the amount claimed was due from the defendant at the time the process was issued.
