summary procedure ( for cheques, bills of exchange and instruments)
Explanation:
this type of procedure under German law is available for claims (for a specified sum or quantity) where the claimant relies entirely on documentary evidence, i.e. a cheque or a bill of exchange. Such claim is much quicker and easier to enforce for the claimant. I don't think there is an exact equivalent in UK law.

agree  AllegroTrans: There is no exact equivalent in England, but it is easy, in principle, to obtain judgment for a money claim in a fixed amount (a liquidated claim)
