OPINION OF THE COURT
Dianne T. Renwick, J.
In this dismissal motion, the court must determine whether *717plaintiffs (Michelina and Leonardo Imperiale) committed a classic act of fatal “lastminutism” by waiting until the last day before the statute of limitations was to expire in their case to commence the action by filing and serving a summons with notice, in lieu of a summons with a complaint, and then waiting 2V2 months to serve the complaint, in response to defendants’ motion to dismiss for failure to serve the complaint after the demand thereof.
