If the claim is accepted conditionally, the Registrar shall endeavour to seek agreement on the terms of a settlement. More generally, the Registrar may seek to reach settlement between the parties in all cases. Where the matter cannot be settled, the Registrar refers the proceedings to the court and notifies the place, time for hearing.<\/p>\n
The Registrar may interview the parties and any other relevant persons.\u00a0 Where a settlement is reached, he records the terms in writing.\u00a0 The time limits laid down may be extended. If the terms of the settlement are not complied with, the Registrar may proceed to judgment against the party.<\/p>\n
The Court may direct that further details of the claim be given.\u00a0 It may direct the taking of evidence.\u00a0 A party may request an oral hearing.\u00a0 The court may refuse it, if it is not necessary for the fair conduct of the proceedings.\u00a0 It may proceed to give judgment on the claim or any counterclaim.\u00a0 If no request for oral hearing is made and the court does not consider an oral hearing necessary, it may proceed to give judgment on the claim and counterclaim.<\/p>\n
Where a judgment is given under the European Small Claims procedure, the court shall notify the party against whom the judgment is made. The defendants against whom judgment has been given, may apply to court to set it aside in the court where it is obtained. \u00a0This must be served within 10 days on the date of the making of the order or its coming to the defendant\\’s knowledge.<\/p>\n
On hearing the application, it may be granted or refused.\u00a0 If none of the grounds of review exist, the judgment remains in force. \u00a0Where the court decides the review is justified on one of the grounds in the EU Regulation, the small claims procedure judgment is set aside. Where a judgment is given in the European small claims procedure in a state other than Ireland, the party against whom enforcement is sought, may apply to court for an order refusing enforcement on the basis set out in the EU Regulations.<\/p>\n\n
