--(1) At the first hearing the general rule is that the court must give judgment unless there is a defendant who attends and satisfies the court that he has a defence with a realistic prospect of success.
--(2) Nothing in this Part prevents the court from ordering possession to be given on a specified date.
--(3) If judgment is not given the court must give directions as if the hearing were a case management conference.
