Firm annotation
Section 209 was repealed together with the reform of the default of appearance provisions. The former Section 209 dealt with how the court examines a retrial request and the consequences of allowing one, including the reinstatement of the parties and the treatment of steps already taken. That function is now covered by the modern retrial regime in Sections 199 bis to 199 quinque, which Section 207 applies to appearance defaults by analogy. Older Supreme Court decisions citing Section 209 refer to the repealed text and its former numbering; the current analysis runs through Section 207 and the Section 199 series.
Why this matters in practice
Section 209 has no content today and should not be cited. For how a court handles a retrial request and what happens when one is granted, work from Section 207 and Sections 199 bis to 199 quinque. Older judgments and precedents that discuss Section 209 concern a repealed provision, so verify the current rule before relying on them. If you found a Section 209 reference in an old ruling, treat it as pre-reform and confirm the position through an online consultation with a Thai lawyer.
