The bailiff or process-server shall cause the original of the summons to be endorsed by the
registrar of the lands department who shall be given a copy for publication.
Where the debtor seeks the recovery of expenses he incurred in relation to land that does not
belong to him, but which has been assigned to him by decision of an administrative authority,
the said authority shall comply with the formalities prescribed in the preceding paragraph.
Where a summons had not been deposited in the office of the land registry or with the
administrative authority concerned within three months of its notification and effectively
published thereafter, the creditor may only recommence process by repeating the entire
proceedings.
