A writ was issued under the old rules. An application for relief to extend time for service was lodged within the four months but heard outside the limit under the old rules, but, again, inside the time limit under the new rules. It was held that for a writ issued under the old rules, should be judged under the old rules. An exclusive jurisdiction clause applied and the matter must be dealt with in accordance with it.
