Article 281

Where security for costs is not furnished within the time fixed, the court shall make an order dismissing the suit unless the plaintiff or plaintiffs are permitted to withdraw therefrom.

Where a suit is dismissed under sub-Article (1), the plaintiff may, within one month of the date of dismissal, apply for an order to set the dismissal aside, and if it is proved to the satisfaction of the court that he was prevented by any sufficient cause from furnishing the security within the time allowed, the court shall set aside the dismissal upon such terms as to security costs or otherwise as it deems appropriate, and shall appoint a day for proceeding with the suit.

The dismissal shall not be set aside unless notice of such application has been served on the defendant.
