891. (1) Nevertheless, where the protest or judicial letter is intended to interrupt the course of prescription, such protest or judicial letter shall take effect from the day on which it is filed, provided, if service is not effected within the eight days following, the party filing the protest or judicial letter makes a demand by an application for the publication in the Government Gazette of a notice, signed by the registrar, containing the substance of the act itself, and such notice is published in the Government Gazette within a month to be reckoned from the day on which the act is filed. (2) Where the demand for the publication of the notice in the Government Gazette is not made in time for the publication thereof to take place on the day appointed by the Government for the ordinary publication of the Gazette, an issue of the Gazette containing the said notice shall be published as soon as possible, on another day, on the demand and at the expense of the party filing the protest or judicial letter. (3) The provisions of this article shall also apply if the act interrupting the course of prescription is a warrant. Cautio Angeli. Amended by: IX.1886.106.
