A Civil Bill is in force for 12 months.\u00a0 If it is not served within this time, the plaintiff may apply before its expiration to the County Registrar for leave to renew the Civil Bill.\u00a0 An application for leave may be applied for after expiry to the Court.<\/p>\n
The Court or the County Registrar, may if satisfied that reasonable efforts have been made to serve or for other good reason, may order that the Civil Bill shall be renewed for six months from the date of renewal. Where an application for renewal is made an ex parte (unilaterally), any defendant may apply before entering appearance, by motion to set the Order aside.<\/p>\n
It is renewed by being stamped with the date and day, month and year of such renewal and delivered to the solicitor, subject to the solicitor filing a prescribed memorandum.\u00a0 The Civil Bill or other originating document is to remain in force including for the purpose of the Statute of Limitations.<\/p>\n
Where the original Civil Bill is lost or destroyed, the Court on being satisfied as to such destruction or loss, and the correctness of a copy, may order such copy to be sealed and served in lieu of the original Civil Bill or other originating document.<\/p>\n\n
