Supreme Court Rules 2000

If a plaintiff's claim is for pecuniary damages only or for detention of goods with or without a claim for pecuniary damages against a defaulting defendant, the plaintiff may enter interlocutory judgment against that defendant for damages to be assessed or for the return of the goods or the recovery of their value.

If interlocutory judgment is entered against one or more defaulting defendants but not against all the defendants, the assessment of damages under that judgment is to proceed at the same time as the trial of the action or issue against the other defendant or defendants, unless the Court or a judge otherwise directs.
