(1)In order to bring a claim or counterclaim within the jurisdiction of a court, a party may in his summons or statement of defence, or at any time thereafter, explicitly abandon a part of that claim or counterclaim.

 

(2)That part of a claim or counterclaim so abandoned, shall thereby be extinguished: Provided that if the claim or counterclaim is granted in part only, the abandonment shall be deemed first to apply to that part of the claim or counterclaim which was not granted.
