Modifications to the general rulesE+W
8.9 Where the Part 8 procedure is followed—
(a)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—
(i)Part 16 (statements of case) does not apply;
(ii)Part 15 (defence and reply) does not apply;
(iii)any time limit in these Rules which prevents the parties from taking a step before a defence is filed does not apply; and
(iv)the requirement under rule 7.8 to serve on the defendant a form for defending the claim does not apply;
(b)the claimant may not obtain judgment by request on an admission and therefore—
(i)[F1rule 14.2 does] not apply; and
(ii)the requirement under rule 7.8 to serve on the defendant a form for admitting the claim does not apply; and
(c)the claim shall be treated as allocated to the multi-track and therefore Part 26 does not apply.
