Order 54 β€” Effect of Non-compliance

Rule 1 Non-compliance with Rules

Non-compliance with any provision of these Rules, except otherwise stated, shall not render any proceeding void unless the Court so directs.

Rule 2 Setting aside for irregularity

(1) An application to set aside a process or proceeding on account of noncompliance for irregularity or for being a nullity, shall not be allowed unless made within a reasonable time, and when the party making the application has not taken any fresh step in the proceedings after knowledge of the defect, non-compliance or irregularity.

(2) An application to set aside under these Rules shall be made by Motion on Notice showing clearly the grounds upon which the application is based.
