(1) The fact that the claimant also claims costs and interest at a specified rate does not prevent a claim from being a claim for a specified sum of money.
(2) A claimant who claims a specified sum of money together with interest at an unspecified rate may apply to have judgment entered for either the sum of money claimed —
(a) and for interest to be assessed; or
(b) together with interest at the statutory rate from the date of the claim to the date of entering judgment.
(3) If a claim is partly for a specified sum and partly for an unspecified sum the claimant may abandon the claim for the unspecified sum and enter default judgment for the specified sum.
• Rule 2.4 defines “claim for a specified sum of money”.
