Holding

The application to reissue summons and grant substituted service to the 1st Defendant is dismissed with costs to the Plaintiff.

Facts

The 1st Defendant (Defendant) previously sought to have the plaint struck out due to non-service, but the court dismissed this application. The Plaintiff (Plaintiff) seeks to reissue summons and substituted service for the 1st Defendant.

Issues

  1. Whether the court should reissue summons to the 1st Defendant and grant leave for substituted service
  2. Whether the court should grant substituted service to the 1st Defendant

Reasoning

The court dismissed the previous application to strike out the plaint due to non-service, and the current application is not a new appeal but a request to reissue summons and grant substituted service, which the court cannot consider.

Outcome

The application is dismissed with costs to the Plaintiff.
