Firm annotation
Section 208 was repealed as part of the reform of the default of appearance provisions in Part 2. The former Section 208 dealt with the retrial request following a default, and its function has been absorbed into the modern, unified retrial regime of Sections 199 bis to 199 quinque, which Section 207 now applies to appearance defaults by analogy. Because the current code no longer contains an operative Section 208, older Supreme Court decisions citing Section 208, marked as the former provision, address a numbering and text that no longer apply. Practitioners should work from Section 207 and the Section 199 series instead.
Why this matters in practice
Do not rely on Section 208 today; it has no content. If you are researching a retrial after a default judgment, look to Section 207 and Sections 199 bis to 199 quinque, and be aware that older judgments citing Section 208 refer to a repealed text. When an old case or template still points to Section 208, treat it as a signal that the material predates the reform. For current litigation strategy, a consultation with a Thai lawyer can confirm the applicable provisions.
