Practice and procedure – personal injuries – application to set aside renewal of personal injuries summons – chronology of events - other good reason – no other good reason identified – caselaw – prudent for solicitor to issue but not serve in the circumstances – from the date of the receipt of the medical report no valid reason for non-service - clear obligation to proceed with some expedition - only reason given for the delay of approximately one year is inadvertence – prejudice suffered by the Minister for Defence – alleged delay in issuing application to set aside renewal – renewal of summons set aside.
