Description
Procrastination, it is said, is the thief of time. Whether the procrastination is that of the plaintiffs, or of their counsel in this case, something more than time has been lost. Why parties who conceive they have a cause of action against another will delay commencing it until the statute of limitations is treading closely on their heels is difficult to understand. We have been faced in recent years with several cases in which the original notice has not been served until only a short time remained before the running of the statute; and in which some defect, claimed or valid, in the process has been asserted and it has been necessary to determine that question before further action may be taken. In many of these actions it has been necessary to uphold the claimed lack of jurisdiction, and the right to a trial on the merits has been lost, because the statute had run before another and valid notice could be served.
