Where a plaintiff brings a claim for a liquidated money demand, the rules of court allow it to be brought under a peculiar procedure called the undefended list procedure. The purpose of the procedure is to enable a plaintiff obtain summary judgment without going into a lengthy trial if he can prove his claim clearly and if the defendant is not able to set up a bona fide defence on the merit. Where the defendant files a defence, the suit is transferred from the undefended list to the general cause list. It is an abridged procedure meant to enable the plaintiff obtain summary judgment without trial.
