Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff issued summons seeking specific performance or damages. The defendant excepted to the summons, claiming it was invalidly served without the registrar's signature and stamp. The defendant failed to set down the exception within the prescribed time limits under the Rules of Court, leading to the plaintiff seeking directions and ultimately arguing that the exception was not properly before the court.
