The Court of Appeal set aside the orders dispensing with service because the appellant was outside the jurisdiction and the Bank had not obtained the mandatory leave to serve out under the Rules of the High Court; the court will not use its inherent jurisdiction to validate lapsed writs or circumvent Order 6 r.7 and Order 11 r.1 RHC except in exceptional circumstances, which were not present here.
