Regulation 9A

For the purposes of service, an originating summons is valid in the first instance for 12 months beginning on the date of its issue.

Where an originating summons has not been served on a defendant, the Court may by order extend the validity of the originating summons from time to time for such period, not exceeding 6 months at any one time, beginning on the day next following that on which the validity of the originating summons would otherwise expire, as may be specified in the order, if an application for the extension is made to the Court before that day, or such later day as the Court may allow.
