The Rules of Court no longer provide for a period until a summons will lapse. Previously, a summons would lapse after 12 months since date of issue, or having been served, the Plaintiff has not taken further steps in prosecution.
A summons is the first process for a legal claim where a Plaintiff has instituted an action against a Defendant.
