....unless the defendant has a prima facie defence.


Explanation:
Without knowing more details, it can be said that it means the defendant should have at least a prima facie case. If, in a civil action, the plaintiff seeks legal redress, the process may be accelerated if the defendant can offer no legal defence whatsoever.
