Order 84 R.3 of the Rules of the Supreme Court applies to proceedings in the District Court by virtue of Rule 9 of the District Court Civil Procedure (General) Rules; consequently plaintiffs seeking judgment for a debt or liquidated demand arising from a hire-purchase agreement cannot enter default judgment without leave, and leave must be refused where there is a fair arguable case that the sum claimed may be a penalty.
