1319 - Service of summons.

§  1319.  Service  of  summons.  An order of attachment granted before  service is made on the defendant against whom the attachment is  granted  is  valid  only  if,  within  sixty  days  after the order is granted, a  summons is served upon the defendant or first publication of the summons  against the defendant is made pursuant to an order  and  publication  is  subsequently  completed,  except  that  a  person upon whom the order of  attachment is served shall not be liable for acting upon  it  as  if  it  were  valid  without  knowledge of the invalidity. If the defendant dies  within sixty days after the order is granted and before the  summons  is  served  upon  him or her or publication is completed, the order is valid  only if the summons is served upon his or her executor or  administrator  within  sixty  days  after letters are issued. Upon such terms as may be  just and upon good cause shown  the  court  may  extend  the  time,  not  exceeding  sixty  days,  within  which  the  summons  must  be served or  publication commenced  pursuant  to  this  section,  provided  that  the  application  for  extension  is  made  before the expiration of the time  fixed.
