[CAP. 4
A 273
(3) If, at any stage of the proceedings in any action, it appears to the Court that the action may be one suitable for trial in a particular list and any party wishes the action to be transferred to that list, then the Court may adjourn any hearing so that it can proceed before the judge and be treated by him as a summons to transfer the action to that list.
Removal of action from particular list (O. 72, r. 6)
6. (1) The judge may, of his own motion or on the application of any party, order an action in a particular list to be removed from that list.
(2) Where an action is in a particular list by virtue of rule 4, an application by a defendant or third party for an order under this rule must be made within 7 days after giving notice of intention to defend.
Pleadings in particular proceedings (O. 72, r. 7)
7. (1) The pleadings in an action in a particular list may be in the form of points of claim, or of defence, counterclaim, defence to counterclaim or reply, as the case may be, and must be as brief as possible.
(2) Without prejudice to Order 18, rule 12(1), no particulars shall be applied for or ordered in an action in the particular list designated the commercial list except such particulars as are necessary to enable the party applying to be informed of the case he has to meet or as are for some other reason necessary to secure the just, expeditious and economical disposal of any question at issue in the proceedings.
(3) The foregoing provisions are without prejudice to the power of the judge to order that an action in a particular list shall be tried without pleadings or further pleadings, as the case may be.
Directions in particular proceedings (O. 72, r. 8)
8. (1) Notwithstanding anything in Order 25, rule 1(1), any party to particular proceedings may take out a summons for directions before the pleadings are deemed to be closed.
(2) Where an application is made to transfer an action to a particular list, Order 25, rules 2 to 7, shall, with the omission of so much of rule 7(1) as requires the parties to serve a notice specifying the orders and directions which they desire and with any other necessary modifications, apply as if the application were a summons for directions.
Trial with a special jury (O. 72, r. 9)
9. (1) If an action in, or ordered to be transferred to, a particular list, is ordered to be tried with a jury, the Court may, at the same time or subsequently, order the action to be tried with a special jury on such terms, if any, as to costs and otherwise as may be just.
