Hi Dellatjie,

It all depends on whether the defendant served and filed a notice of intention to defend. If so, the plaintiff needs to serve and file a declaration. The defendant has to serve and file a plea on merits. Both parties must serve and file a discovery affidavit. The matter needs to be set down. The court file needs to be indexed and paginated.

If no notice of intention to defend was served and filed, then you go the application for default judgment route.
