The period of limitation for an application to restore a suit dismissed for default of appearance is

Article 122 prescribes thirty days from dismissal for an application to restore a suit dismissed for default of appearance. The starting point is the dismissal date. This should not be confused with article 123 concerning setting aside an ex parte decree, which can use knowledge where summons was not duly served. Any request to condone delay requires the applicable sufficient-cause analysis; it does not change the prescribed thirty-day period.
