7 Appearance under protest of person served as partner
(1) Anyone served as a partner under order 2 rule 18D (Service on partners sued in firm name) may enter an appearance under protest, denying being a partner, but doing so does not prevent the plaintiff from otherwise serving the firm and obtaining judgment against the firm in default of appearance if no partner enters an appearance in the ordinary form.
(2) Order 13 rule 16A (Conditional appearance) does not apply to an appearance entered under this rule.
