Summary
Failure to serve process. Provides that a defendant who
has not been served within one year of the filing of a suit may file a motion
to dismiss and if the court finds that the plaintiff did not exercise due
diligence to have timely service, may dismiss the suit with prejudice. The bill
also preserves the plaintiff's right to a non-suit prior to the entry of an
order to dismiss. These provisions shall not pertain to cases involving
asbestos. View Full Text »
